Virulence evolution of the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis by recombination in the core and accessory genome.

Virulence evolution of the human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis by recombination in the core and accessory genome.

<h4>Background</h4>Neisseria meningitidis is a naturally transformable, facultative pathogen colonizing the human nasopharynx. Here, we analyze on a genome-wide level the impact of recombination on gene-complement diversity and virulence evolution in N. meningitidis. We combined comparat...
