Article Synopsis
- Neisseria meningitidis, typically a rare cause of urethritis, has shown a rise in cases linked to a new nonencapsulated clade from the hyperinvasive lineage 11.2 in the U.S. and beyond.
- This emerging clade has undergone genetic changes, acquiring genes from Neisseria gonorrhoeae that influence its respiration and capabilities in low-oxygen environments.
- Research indicates that these changes lead to improved growth in microaerobic conditions, reduced nitric oxide accumulation, and better adaptation to urogenital environments, enhancing its survival.
