N. elongata Produces Type IV Pili That Mediate Interspecies Gene Transfer with N. gonorrhoeae
The genus Neisseria contains at least eight commensal and two pathogenic species. According to the Neisseria phylogenetic tree, commensals are basal to the pathogens. N. elongata, which is at the opposite end of the tree from N. gonorrhoeae, has been observed to be fimbriated, and these fimbriae are...
