Carriage and antimicrobial susceptibility of commensal Neisseria species from the human oropharynx

Abstract Commensal Neisseria (Nc) mainly occupy the oropharynx of humans and animals. These organisms do not typically cause disease; however, they can act as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance genes that can be acquired by pathogenic Neisseria species. This study characterised the carriage an...
