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.

Neisseria meningitidis

, 2019
This volume provides methods to analyze the meningococcus and its interactions with biologically relevant host cells and sites, to interrogate the population structure and biology of the meningococcus that defines its capacity to cause disease, and to aid in vaccine development and surveillance.

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 ...

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.

Genealogical typing of Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]

, 2009
Despite the increasing popularity of multilocus sequence typing (MLST), the most appropriate method for characterizing bacterial variation and facilitating epidemiological investigations remains a matter of debate.

Expression of phosphofructokinase in Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]

, 2010
Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B is a pathogen that can infect diverse sites within the human host. According to the N. meningitidis genomic information and experimental observations, glucose can be completely catabolized through the Entner–Doudoroff ...

DNA methylation assessed by SMRT sequencing is linked to mutations in Neisseria meningitidis isolates [PDF]

, 2015
The Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis features extensive genetic variability. To present, proposed virulence genotypes are also detected in isolates from asymptomatic carriers, indicating more complex mechanisms underlying variable ...
