Exploration of the <i>Neisseria</i> Resistome Reveals Resistance Mechanisms in Commensals That May Be Acquired by <i>N. gonorrhoeae</i> through Horizontal Gene Transfer

Exploration of the <i>Neisseria</i> Resistome Reveals Resistance Mechanisms in Commensals That May Be Acquired by <i>N. gonorrhoeae</i> through Horizontal Gene Transfer

Nonpathogenic <i>Neisseria</i> transfer mutations encoding antibiotic resistance to their pathogenic relative <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>. However, the resistance genotypes and subsequent phenotypes of nonpathogens within the genus have been described infrequently. Here, we...
