Pilin antigenic variants impact gonococcal lifestyle and antibiotic tolerance by modulating interbacterial forces
Neisseria gonorrhoeae evades immunity by altering its surface structures through antigenic variation. This study shows that this process also modulates bacterial interactions, driving microcolony dive...
