Independent evolution of the core and accessory gene sets in the genus Neisseria: Insights gained from the genome of Neisseria lactamica isolate 020-06

Background: The genus Neisseria contains two important yet very different pathogens, N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae, in addition to non-pathogenic species, of which N. lactamica is the best characterized. Genomic comparisons of these three bacteria will provide insights into the mechanisms and e...
