Seminar Information
Bacteria in the Neisseria genus are consummate survivors, evolving with their hosts to establish residency on mucosal surfaces as a component of the oropharyngeal microbiome. However, the molecular mechanisms driving maintenance of these communities are not well understood. The Rhodes lab uses molecular genetic, biochemical and animal modeling approaches to examine the contribution of Type eleven secretion systems to Neisseria mucosal survival and commensalism.
