Microevolution of Neisseria lactamica during nasopharyngeal colonisation induced by controlled human infection
Abstract
Carriage of Neisseria lactamica, a harmless coloniser of the human respiratory tract, is inversely correlated with Neisseria meningitidis infection. Here, Pandey et al. provide insights into micro-evolutionary processes in N. lactamica during controlled infection of healthy volunteers.
