N. meningitidis and TLR Polymorphisms: A Fascinating Immunomodulatory Network [PDF]
Vaccines, 2016 N. meningitidis infections represent a global health problem that can lead to the development of serious permanent sequelae. Although the use of antibiotics and prevention via vaccination have reduced the incidence of meningococcal disease, our understanding regarding N.

Pericarditis due to Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W135
IDCases, 2018 Neisseria meningitidis is a well-recognized cause of bacterial meningitis. Although less common, N. meningitidis can also involve extra-meningeal sites, including the pericardium.

Meningococcal Carriage among Adolescents after Mass Meningococcal C Conjugate Vaccination Campaigns in Salvador, Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Neisseria meningitidis is a commensal bacterium of the human nasopharynx. In rare cases, it penetrates the mucosa, entering the blood stream and causing various forms of disease.

Species-specificity of the BamA component of the bacterial outer membrane protein-assembly machinery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The BamA protein is the key component of the Bam complex, the assembly machinery for outer membrane proteins (OMP) in gram-negative bacteria. We previously demonstrated that BamA recognizes its OMP substrates in a species-specific manner in vitro.

Fratricide activity of MafB protein of N. meningitidis strain B16B6 [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2015 BACKGROUND: Neisseria meningitidis is an inhabitant of the mucosal surfaces of the human nasopharynx. We recently demonstrated that the secreted meningococcal Two-partner secretion protein A (TpsA) is involved in interbacterial competition. The C-terminal end of the large TpsA protein contains a small toxic domain that inhibits the growth of target ...

Virus‐Mediated Self‐Assembly of Functional Cyclodextrins for Antiviral Inhibition
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A sialic acid (SA)‐functionalized cyclodextrin (CD) self‐assembles on SARS‐CoV‐2 through ligand–receptor recognition, nucleating cooperative supramolecular polymer growth that blocks infection. The adaptive assembly requires both ligand binding and host–guest polymerization, remains active across variants, and can be tuned by coassembly, establishing ...

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