Haemophilus influenzae and Neisseria gonorrhoeae recognize different specificity determinants in the DNA uptake step of genetic transformation
Abstract
Cross-transformation and quantitative competition experiments showed that Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Haemophilus influenzae do not interact with each other's DNA in transformation. These organisms must interact with different recognition sequences during DNA uptake.
