Risk of sequelae after invasive meningococcal disease [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Abstract Background Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a rare but severe bacterial infection, of which a high proportion of survivors are affected by sequelae. In Denmark, IMD is a notifiable disease and data collection on sequelae information has been automated, enabling studies of sequelae due to IMD diagnosed ...

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Well‐Defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐Linked Oligosialosides

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 36, 1 September 2026.
Well‐defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐linked oligosialic acids of different lengths can be prepared by employing recombinant bacterial polysialyltransferases in combination with chemically modified CMP‐Neu5Ac derivatives. After transfer, a sialoside is formed bearing an artificial entity, which blocks further glycosylation.
