Loss of Genomic Diversity in a Neisseria meningitidis Clone Through a Colonization Bottleneck

Neisseria meningitidis is the leading cause of epidemic meningitis in the “meningitis belt” of Africa, where clonal waves of colonization and disease are observed. Point mutations and horizontal gene exchange lead to constant diversification of meningococcal populations during clonal spread. Maintai...
