Genetic Variation in Neisseria meningitidis Does Not Influence Disease Severity in Meningococcal Meningitis

Neisseria meningitidis causes sepsis and meningitis in humans. It has been suggested that pathogen genetic variation determines variance in disease severity. Here we report results of a genome-wide association study of 486 N. meningitidis genomes from meningococcal meningitis patients and their asso...
