[Neisseria meningitidis B and E. coli K1: different genes causing the production of an identical capsule. Preliminary communication].
E. coli of type K 1 and meningococcus of group B have identical capsules. Using gene cloning and nuclear hybridization, the authors show that the genes responsible for capsule production differ in the two bacteria (no DNA homology).
