Orogenital Transmission of Neisseria meningitidis Causing Acute Urethritis in Men Who Have Sex with Men.

ABSTRACT: Neisseria meningitidis sequence type 11 is an emerging cause of urethritis. We demonstrate by using whole-genome sequencing orogenital transmission of a N. meningitidis sequence type 11 isolate causing urethritis in a monogamous couple of men who have sex with men. These results suggest dissemination of this clonal complex among low-risk patients.
