Molecular subtyping of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B: comparison of five methods [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996
In order to compare methods for subtyping Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B isolates, 96 isolates obtained from various locations in the United States and northwestern Europe were subtyped by five methods: monoclonal antibody (MAb)-based serotyping and serosubtyping, DNA macrorestriction analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), multilocus ...

Comparative Proteomics Analysis of Two Strains of Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B and Neisseria lactamica. [PDF]

Jundishapur J Microbiol, 2015
Antigenic similarities between Neisseria lactamica as a commensal species and N. meningitidis serogroup B (NmB) as an important cause of meningitis infection have been considered for the development of an effective vaccine based on their common proteins to prevent life-threatening bacterial meningitis.The main aims of this study were to determine whole

Serogroup B, Electrophoretic Type 15Neisseria meningitidisin Canada [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1998
Invasive meningococcal disease is nationally reportable in Canada. In recent years, a serogroup C genotype, designated electrophoretic type 15 (ET15), has been the most frequently isolated meningococcal genotype in Canada and has caused epidemics across the country.

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...

Molecular Epidemiology of Recent Belgian Isolates of Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT In Belgium an increase in the incidence of meningococcal disease has been noted since the early 1990s. Four hundred twenty clinical strains isolated during the period from 1990 to 1995, along with a set of 30 European reference strains, and 20 Dutch isolates were examined by random-primer and repetitive-motif-based PCR ...

Australian consensus recommendations for the management of increased meningococcal infection risk in adults with neurological diseases treated with complement inhibitors

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Complement inhibitor therapy carries a risk of serious infections, including meningococcal disease. Here we provide evidence‐based recommendations and expert consensus for immunisation and prophylactic treatment of patients receiving, or planning to receive, complement inhibitors for neurological conditions in the Australian setting.
