Emergence of short-lived meningococci causing focal epidemics can be associated with gene transfer from carriage-associated Neisseria

Charlene M.C. Rodrigues, Jay Lucidarme, Rachel M. Exley…·Christoph M. Tang

A 21-case nightclub-linked meningococcal outbreak variant differed from its closest relatives by horizontal gene transfer from carriage-associated Neisseria, affecting iron acquisition and type IV pili genes.

Genomic epidemiology of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from the G-ToG clinical trial, 2014-2016

Samantha A McKeand, Michelle J Cole, Jeffrey A. Cole…·Christoph M. Tang

The paper analyzes whole genome sequences of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from the G-ToG trial to characterize gonococcal diversity and AMR patterns in England, showing sexual network-driven phylogenetic structure and AMR differences between transmission groups.
