Pilin Antigenic Variation Occurs Independently of the RecBCD Pathway in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Type IV pilus expression has been strongly implicated in the virulence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the causative agent of gonorrhea. In Neisseria, these pili undergo frequent antigenic variation (Av), which is presumed to allow reinfection of high-risk groups. Pilin Av is the result of RecA-mediated r...
