Demonstrates gene regulation via DNA methyltransferases in Neisseria meningitidis, indicating their role in pathogenicity.
serogroup B strains MC58, B6116/77, and M0579. These strains encode phase-variable DNA methyltransferases ModA11, ModA12, and ModD1, respectively, which act as global epigenetic regulators central to meningococcal pathogenicity.
