Genomic analysis of serogroup Y Neisseria meningitidis isolates reveals extensive similarities between carriage-associated and disease-associated organisms
Neisseria meningitidis is a frequent colonizer of the human nasopharynx, with asymptomatic carriage providing the reservoir for invasive, disease-causing strains. Serogroup Y (MenY) strains are a major cause of meningococcal disease. High-resolution genetic analyses of carriage and disease isolates...
