Abstract

In 2015, we identified a non-groupable clade of Neisseria meningitidis that causes urethritis in men (the US_NmUC). Because repeat infection is common with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, we examined whether reinfection also occurs with the US_NmUC. We provide evidence that men are susceptible to repeat episodes of urethritis from the US_NmUC.
