Abstract
- ABSTRACT?-Glutamyl aminopeptidase (GGT) activity is used as a specific marker for the identification of Neisseria meningitidis. We isolated from a healthy carrier and characterized an N. meningitidisisolate which lacked the activity due to the insertional mutation of the ggtgene, suggesting that naturally occurring N. meningitidisisolates do not always possess GGT activity.
