Detailed evaluation of data analysis tools for subtyping of bacterial isolates based on whole genome sequencing : Neisseria meningitidis as a proof of concept [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Whole genome sequencing is increasingly recognized as the most informative approach for characterization of bacterial isolates. Success of the routine use of this technology in public health laboratories depends on the availability of well-characterized ...

Prediction of Prophages and Their Host Ranges in Pathogenic and Commensal Neisseria Species
mSystems, 2022 The genus Neisseria includes two pathogenic species, N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis, and numerous commensal species. Neisseria species frequently exchange DNA with one another, primarily via transformation and homologous recombination and via ...
