Meningococcal antigen in diagnosis and treatment of group A meningococcal infections

The American Journal of Medicine, 1975
Meningococcal antigen was measured by countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of 200 patients with group A meningococcal meningitis. Antigen was detected in the blood of 27 (13.5 per cent) patients. These patients had a worse prognosis and a higher incidence of allergic complications, such as arthritis and vasculitis ...

Beta‐Lactam Antibiotics Promote Extracellular Vesicle Production of Staphylococcus aureus Through ROS‐Mediated Lipid Metabolic Reprogramming

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) are natural reservoirs of biological active substances. They exhibit promising application in developing bioproducts such as vaccine, drug‐delivery system and anticancer agent. However, the low yield of naturally secreted EVs during bacterial growth is a bottleneck factor that restricts EV applications ...

Development of a Recombinant Outer Membrane Vesicles (OMVs)‐Based Vaccine Against Helicobacter pylori Infection in Mice

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2025.
This study innovatively modified the structure of LPS for the recombinant H. pylori OMV vaccine, and utilised the vector advantage of OMVs to deliver the H. pylori main antigen proteins UreB, VacA and CagA to exert the synergistic effect of the vaccine, providing a new strategy for the design of H.

Childhood Vaccine Hesitancy as an Interaction‐Based Phenomenon

Sociology of Health &Illness, Volume 47, Issue 4, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The paper discusses the role of the interaction between parents and healthcare professionals in overcoming or heightening childhood vaccine hesitancy. Childhood vaccine hesitancy is seen as a set of attitudes and behaviours—that is, dispositions—that are highly dependent on how trust and vulnerability intersect during vaccination appointments.

Genetic Variation in NFKBIE Is Associated With Increased Risk of Pneumococcal Meningitis in Children

EBioMedicine, 2016
Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are frequent pathogens in life-threatening infections. Genetic variation in the immune system may predispose to these infections.
