Description:

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng), a strict human pathogen, is the sole causative agent of gonorrhea. Gc possess a complex gene conversion system, the pilin antigenic variation system, (pilin Av), which alters the DNA sequence of the major pilin, PilE. Pilin Av results in the constant alteration of the surface exposed appendage,...
