Genome wide expression profiling reveals suppression of host defence responses during colonisation by Neisseria meningitides but not N. lactamica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Both Neisseria meningitidis and the closely related bacterium Neisseria lactamica colonise human nasopharyngeal mucosal surface, but only N. meningitidis invades the bloodstream to cause potentially life-threatening meningitis and septicaemia.

Re-infection by untreated partners of people treated for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae: mathematical modelling study [PDF]
Sex Transm Infect. 2014 May;90(3):254-6, 2013 Objectives: Re-infection after treatment for Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae reduces the effect of control interventions. We explored the impact of delays in partner treatment on the expected probability of re-infection of index cases using a mathematical model.

How bacterial cells and colonies move on solid substrates [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 99, 042419 (2019), 2018 Many bacteria rely on active cell appendages, such as type IV pili, to move over substrates and interact with neighboring cells. Here, we study the motion of individual cells and bacterial colonies, mediated by the collective interactions of multiple pili.

Pili mediated intercellular forces shape heterogeneous bacterial microcolonies prior to multicellular differentiation [PDF]
Scientific Reports. Volume 8, Article number: 16567 (2018), 2017 Microcolonies are aggregates of a few dozen to a few thousand cells exhibited by many bacteria. The formation of microcolonies is a crucial step towards the formation of more mature bacterial communities known as biofilms, but also marks a significant change in bacterial physiology.

Structural and mechanistic basis of capsule O-acetylation in Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A
Nature Communications, 2020 Neisseria meningitidis capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is a major virulence factor and vaccine formulations against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A (NmA) contain O-acetylated CPS.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Sialyl glycosides containing 4‐N‐derivatized sialic acids synthesized by a highly efficient one‐pot two‐enzyme (OP2E) chemoenzymatic sialylation strategy have been shown to be versatile probes. They can resist sialidase cleavage, be selective substrates by influenza sialidases, or be nanomolar substrate analog‐based inhibitors and affinity ligands ...
