title: Differential expression of genes that harbor a common regulatory element in Neisseria meningitidis upon contact with target cells.
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.
