Characterization of Invasive Neisseria meningitidis from Atlantic Canada, 2009 To 2013: With Special Reference to the Nonpolysaccharide Vaccine Targets (Pora, Factor H Binding Protein, Neisseria Heparin-Binding Antigen and Neisseria Adhesin A)

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2015
BACKGROUND: Serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis (MenB) has always been a major cause of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in Canada. With the successful implementation of a meningitis C conjugate vaccine, the majority of IMD in Canada is now caused by ...

Safety and Effectiveness of Sutimlimab in Cold Agglutinin Disease: A Real‐World International Experience

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 101, Issue 7, Page 1597-1604, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Sutimlimab is a monoclonal antibody against complement fraction C1s approved for the treatment of hemolytic anemia due to cold agglutinin disease (CAD). Here, we analyzed and report the largest international CAD cohort of sutimlimab‐treated patients ever reported to highlight its safety and effectiveness in the real‐world setting. We accrued a

Genome wide expression profiling reveals suppression of host defence responses during colonisation by Neisseria meningitides but not N. lactamica. [PDF]

, 2011
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.

Potential Capsule Switching from Serogroup Y to B: The Characterization of Three such Neisseria meningitidis Isolates Causing Invasive Meningococcal Disease in Canada

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2005
Three group B Neisseria meningitidis isolates, recovered from meningococcal disease cases in Canada and typed as B:2c:P1.5, were characterized. Multilocus sequence typing showed that all three isolates were related because of an identical sequence ...

Meningococcal Disease in South Africa, 1999–2002

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
We describe the epidemiology of invasive meningococcal disease in South Africa from August 1999 through July 2002, as reported to a laboratory-based surveillance system. Neisseria meningitidis isolates were further characterized.

Clinically Suspected Invasive Meningococcal Disease Presenting With Purpura Fulminans‐Like Rash, Septic Shock, Multiorgan Dysfunction, and Recovery From ARDS in a Previously Healthy Child

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Clinically suspected invasive meningococcal disease can deteriorate rapidly in previously well children. Prompt recognition of the petechial–purpuric rash with shock, early empirical antibiotics, and aggressive supportive pediatric intensive care are cornerstones of management as multiorgan dysfunction and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ...
