Infection Control, 1985
Neisseria meningitidisis an exclusive human pathogen. The organism was first recognized by Weichselbaum in 1887 in the spinal fluid of six patients with acute cerebrospinal meningitis. He called itDiplococcus intracellularis meningitidisbecause of the presence of the organism within leukocytes from the spinal fluid.

Neisseria meningitidis, a Respiratory Pathogen?
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1970The literature on meningococcal disease in the past few years has been dominated by discussions of sulfonamide resistance, prophylaxis, intravascular coagulation in fulminant disease, and determination of additional serological groups. This paper considers yet another facet, namely, the role of the meningococcus in respiratory disease and bacterial ...

Complete genome sequence of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B strain MC58.
Science, 2000The 2,272,351-base pair genome of Neisseria meningitidis strain MC58 (serogroup B), a causative agent of meningitis and septicemia, contains 2158 predicted coding regions, 1158 (53.7%) of which were assigned a biological role.

Exogenous Neisseria meningitidis Endophthalmitis
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997To report a case of Neisseria meningitidis endophthalmitis in association with a leaking filtering bleb and to consider antibiotic prophylaxis of those people with whom the patient had contact.We treated an 81-year-old man who had a chronic, leaking filtering bleb and who developed exogenous N meningitidis endophthalmitis.N meningitidis endophthalmitis

Hemagglutination by Neisseria meningitidis
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1981The direct agglutination of erythrocytes by Neisseria meningitidis was studied as a marker for adherence. Hemagglutination (HA) was studied by slide test (5-min incubation) and by dilutions in microtitre plates (20-h incubation). Meningococci that were freshly isolated from subjects agglutinated only human cells by slide test but human, dog, rabbit ...

Dissemination ofNeisseria meningitidis
New England Journal of Medicine, 2011Infection of the mucosal epithelium of the nasopharynx by Neisseria meningitidis can lead to systemic invasion, resulting in fulminant sepsis and meningitis. A recent study divulges a molecular event relevant to the dissemination of the bacterium.

Molecular epidemiology of neisseria meningitidis
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2003Neisseria meningitidis poses a major disease burden on human beings. Meningococcal typing has a longstanding tradition for epidemiological surveillance of the disease. Genetic and antigenetic variability resulting from horizontal genetic exchange has been exploited for this purpose.

Neisseria meningitidis Vaccines
2003Meningococcal disease, both endemic and epidemic, remains a major cause of meningitis in many countries. Protective immunity is mediated primarily by bactericidal antibodies against the capsular polysaccharides as well as against outer membrane protein and lipopolysaccharide components.
