N. meningitidis and TLR Polymorphisms: A Fascinating Immunomodulatory Network. [PDF]
Vaccines (Basel), 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.

The electron transport chains of Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]
, 2007 Neisseria meningitidis contains c-type and b-type cytochromes. Oxidation of c-type and b-type cytochromes by oxygen was observed in both cells grown under aerobic and denitrifying conditions, whereas oxidation of cytochromes by nitrite was only seen in ...

Contribution of receptors to 'Neisseria meningitidis' interactions with human macrophages [PDF]
, 2004 N. meningitidis is a gram-negative human pathogen that invades human cells, evades immune responses and goes on to cause meningococcal disease, sepsis and death.

A Selective Medium for the Cultivation of N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis [PDF]
Public Health Reports (1896-1970), 1964 A SIGNIFICANT complication in the control of gonorrhea is the large number of women who harbor undiagnosed, asymptomatic infection. Development of better and more rapid laboratory procedures for isolation and identification of the gonococcus would therefore help to control this source of the disease.

The Respiratory Chain In Neisseria Species [PDF]
, 2013 This work presents the organization of respiratory chain in Neisseria species. The localization of redox proteins was determined. Lipid-modified azurin (Laz) and nitrite reductase (AniA) are mainly associated with outer membrane.

Fratricide activity of MafB protein of N. meningitidis strain B16B6. [PDF]
BMC Microbiol, 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 ...

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.
