Serogroup A meningococci are a leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children and young adults worldwide. However, the genetic basis of serogroup A strains' virulence and their epidemiological properties remain poorly understood. Therefore, we sequenced the complete genome of the transformable Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A strain WUE2594.
A 群脑膜炎奈瑟球菌是全世界导致儿童和青年细菌性脑膜炎的主要病因。然而,A 群菌株毒力的遗传基础及其流行病学特性仍知之甚少。因此,我们对可转化的脑膜炎奈瑟球菌 A 群血清型菌株 WUE2594 进行了全基因组测序。
