Neisseria meningitidisW135, Turkey

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
We describe the first case of Neisseria meningitidis W135 meningitis in Turkey. The strain was genotypically unrelated to the clone (W)ET-37, isolated from Hajj pilgrims in 2000.

Orogenital Transmission of Neisseria meningitidis Causing Acute Urethritis in Men Who Have Sex with Men

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Neisseria meningitidis sequence type 11 is an emerging cause of urethritis. We demonstrate by using whole-genome sequencing orogenital transmission of a N.

Multicolonization of human nasopharynx due to Neisseria spp. [PDF]

, 2010
The colonization due to Neisseria spp. in the nasopharynx of forty healthy adults was studied by using a selective medium that allows the differentiation of Neisseria species and inhibits the rest of pharyngeal microbiota.

Genomics of Neisseria meningitidis

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2001
An important feature of disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis is the propensity to invade the meninges. Much progress has been made in our understanding of how this pathogen circumvents the physical properties of this cellular barrier. This review will address the new possibilities offered by the recent availability of meningococcal genome sequences.

Internalization of Lactobacillus crispatus Through Caveolin-1-Mediated Endocytosis Boosts Cellular Uptake but Blocks the Transcellular Passage of Neisseria meningitidis

Microorganisms
Neisseria meningitidis is a human-specific pathogen that colonizes the nasopharyngeal epithelium, which is populated by a dynamic microbiota that includes Lactobacillus species.
