Genetic Manipulation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Commensal Neisseria Species
Abstract The sexually transmitted pathogen, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, undergoes natural transformation at high frequency. This property has led to the rapid dissemination of antibiotic resistance markers and the panmictic structure of the gonococcal population. However, high‐frequency transformation also makes N.

Semisynthetic Glycoconjugates as Potential Vaccine Candidates Against Haemophilus influenzae Type a
The synthesis of the protein conjugates of Haemophilus influenzae type a (Hia) capsular polysaccharide oligomers is reported. The obtained neoglycoconjugates, comprising from one to five well‐defined disaccharide repeating units, were employed in immunization studies, showing their ability to induce a specific immune response.
