Lactate-Induced Dispersal of Neisseria meningitidis Microcolonies Is Mediated by Changes in Cell Density and Pilus Retraction and Is Influenced by Temperature Change

Neisseria meningitidis is the etiologic agent of meningococcal meningitis and sepsis. Initial colonization of meningococci in the upper respiratory tract epithelium is crucial for disease development.
