Whole-Genome Sequence of the Transformable Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup A Strain WUE2594

Abstract

Serogroup A meningococci are a leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children and young adults worldwide. However, the genetic basis of serogroup A strains' virulence and their epidemiological properties remain poorly understood. Therefore, we sequenced the complete genome of the transformable Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A strain WUE2594.
