The majority of invasive meningococcal disease in developed countries is caused by Neisseria meningitidis with a serogroup B capsule. Despite the availability of vaccines for other serogroups since the 1960s no broadly effective vaccine has been developed for preventi... Lees meer.

Neisseria meningitidis is a facultative microaerophilic bacterium that can utilize oxygen nitrite and nitric oxide as terminal electron acceptors for its respiration. Oxygen can cause oxidation of both c-type and b-type cytochromes while nitrite or nitric oxide cause... Lees meer.

This book offers an insight into the epidemiology of meningococci causing invasive disease in Scotland during 1999 to 2002 using high profile and high impact molecular characterisation tools such as Multi Locus Sequence Typing MLST and porA genosubtyping. It provides... Lees meer.

En el presente trabajo de investigacion se pretendio determinar si los complejos proteicos de membrana externa de Neisseria meningitidis son antigenos apropiados para el desarrollo de vacunas mas efectivas contra la enfermedad meningococica. Estos complejos podrian albe... Lees meer.

Neisseria meningitidis is a major causative agent worldwide of potentially life-threatening meningitis and septicaemia which carry with them a high mortality rate and permanent physical and neurological issues for survivors. Neisseria meningitidis. Advanced Methods... Lees meer.

Neisseria meningitidis genome contains 2158 protein coding regions. Nearly half of the ORFs belongs to different functional classes. Sequence analysis of N. meningitidis hypothetical proteins using InterProScan and MPsrch resulted in the identification of 9 putative pe... Lees meer.
