Abstract
The expression of several genes in Neisseria meningitidis upon contact with epithelial cells was associated with the presence of the contact regulatory elements of Neisseria . These genes are involved in various aspects of meningococcal biology and could be coordinately regulated upon contact with target cells.Keywords
