Deletion of porA by Recombination between Clusters of Repetitive Extragenic Palindromic Sequences in Neisseria meningitidis

PorA is an important component in a vaccine against infection with Neisseria meningitidis. However, porA-negative meningococci were isolated from patients, thereby potentially limiting the role of PorA-mediated immunity. To analyze the mechanism by which the porA deletion occurred, the regions upstr...
