Transposon Mutagenesis Identifies Sites Upstream of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae pilE Gene That Modulate Pilin Antigenic Variation

Gene conversion mediates the variation of virulence-associated surface structures on pathogenic microorganisms, which prevents host humoral immune responses from being effective. One of the best-studied gene conversion systems is antigenic variation (Av) of the pilin subunit of the Neisseria gonorrh...
