Neisseria meningitidis is a human-specific pathogen known for its capability to cause sepsis and meningitis. Here we report the availability of 2 draft genome sequences obtained from patients infected during the same epidemic outbreak. Both bacterial isolates belong to serogroup C, but their genome sequences show local and remarkable differences compared with each other or with the reference genome of strain FAM18.
脑膜炎奈瑟菌是一种专门感染人类的病原体,其能够引起败血症和脑膜炎。在此,我们报告了从同一疫情爆发期间感染的患者中获得的 2 个草案基因组序列。这两种细菌分离株均属于 C 群血清型,但与参考菌株 FAM18 相比,它们的基因组序列存在局部和显著差异。
