Identification and characterization of genes required for competence in Neisseria meningitidis.

We have identified genes required for competence of Neisseria meningitidis, a naturally transformable human pathogen. Although not comprehensive, our analysis identified competence-defective mutants with transposon insertions in genes not previously implicated in this process in Neisseria.
