Neisserial Correia Repeat-Enclosed Elements Do Not Influence the Transcription of pil Genes in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis

Two human-specific neisserial pathogens, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis, require the expression of type IV pili (tfp) for initial attachment to the host during infection. However, the mechanisms controlling the assembly and functionality of tfp are poorly understood. It is known th...
