Update on the Neisseria Macrophage Infectivity Potentiator-Like PPIase Protein
Neisseria pathogens express a Macrophage Infectivity Potentiator Protein (MIP), which belongs to the FK506 binding protein (FKBP) family of proteins that exhibit peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) activity.

Commensal Neisseria provide a reservoir of resistance genes that can be transferred to the pathogens Neisseria gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis in the human oropharynx. Surveillance programs are thus needed to monitor resistance in oropharyngeal commensal

Genome wide expression profiling reveals suppression of host defence responses during colonisation by Neisseria meningitides but not N. lactamica. [PDF]
Both Neisseria meningitidis and the closely related bacterium Neisseria lactamica colonise human nasopharyngeal mucosal surface, but only N. meningitidis invades the bloodstream to cause potentially life-threatening meningitis and septicaemia.

Novel lipoprotein expressed by Neisseria meningitidis but not by Neisseria gonorrhoeae [PDF]
The ppk gene, which codes for the enzyme polyphosphate kinase in Neisseria meningitidis strain BNCV, is preceded by an open reading frame coding for a protein with a predicted size of 19.2 kDa with a typical lipoprotein signal sequence of 21 amino acids.

The Adhesin Complex Protein (ACP) of
The acp gene encoding the 13-kDa adhesin complex protein (ACP) from Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B strain MC58 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified recombinant ACP (rACP) was used for immunization studies.

Et tu, Neisseria? Conflicts of Interest Between Neisseria Species
Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are two obligate human pathogens that have evolved to be uniquely adapted to their host. The meningococcus is frequently carried asymptomatically in the nasopharynx, while gonococcal infection of the ...

Sialyl glycosides containing 4‐N‐derivatized sialic acids synthesized by a highly efficient one‐pot two‐enzyme (OP2E) chemoenzymatic sialylation strategy have been shown to be versatile probes. They can resist sialidase cleavage, be selective substrates by influenza sialidases, or be nanomolar substrate analog‐based inhibitors and affinity ligands ...

A case of disseminated gonococcal infection in which the gonococcus was isolated from the blood and genitalia and the meningococcus from the throat is described. A second patient, in whom the meningococcus was isolated from the throat and the gonococcus from the genitals but in whom no organisms were recovered from the blood, had lesions resembling ...
