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

PLoS ONE, 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.

Development of a rapid, simple multiplex PCR-dipstick assay for the detection of Neisseria meningitidis serogroups in clinical isolates [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
The rapid identification and serogrouping of Neisseria meningitidis are crucial for effectively managing invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) patients and their close contacts, particularly in developing countries with limited laboratory resources.

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 ...

Effect of Carcinoembryonic Antigen-related Cell Adhesion Molecule-binding Recombinant Polypeptide on the Killing of Neisseria meningitidis by Human Neutrophils

Journal of Umm Al-Qura University for Medical Science, 2021
Background: Neutrophils are an essential part of innate immunity and play a crucial role in controlling infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis.

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.

The Host-Pathogen Interactions and Epicellular Lifestyle of Neisseria meningitidis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Neisseria meningitidis is a gram-negative diplococcus and a transient commensal of the human nasopharynx. It shares and competes for this niche with a number of other Neisseria species including N. lactamica, N. cinerea and N. mucosa.
