A large genomic island allows Neisseria meningitidis to utilize propionic acid, with implications for colonization of the human nasopharynx
Neisseria meningitidis is an important human pathogen that is capable of killing within hours of infection. Its normal habitat is the nasopharynx of adult humans. Here we identify a genomic island (the prp gene cluster) in N. meningitidis that enables this species to utilize propionic acid as a supp...
