The Neisseria meningitidis CRISPR-Cas9 System Enables Specific Genome Editing in Mammalian Cells

Molecular Therapy, 2016
The clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)—CRISPR-associated (Cas) system from Streptococcus pyogenes (Spy) has been successfully adapted for RNA-guided genome editing in a wide range of organisms.

WGS analysis of a penicillin-resistant Neisseria meningitidis strain containing a chromosomal ROB-1 β-lactamase gene

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2018
Objectives Neisseria meningitidis is rarely penicillin resistant. We describe WGS analysis of a penicillin-resistant N. meningitidis collected from a case of invasive meningococcal disease.

Neisseria meningitidis ST11 Complex Isolates Associated with Nongonococcal Urethritis, Indiana, USA, 2015–2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
At a clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, we observed an increase in Neisseria gonorrhoeae–negative men with suspected gonococcal urethritis who had urethral cultures positive for N. meningitidis. We describe genomes of 2 of these N.

Characterization of strains of Neisseria meningitidis causing meningococcal meningitis in Mozambique, 2014: Implications for vaccination against meningococcal meningitis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
INTRODUCTION:In sub Saharan Africa, the epidemiology, including the distribution of serogroups of strains of N. meningitidis is poorly investigated in countries outside "the meningitis belt".

Cocirculation of Hajj and non-Hajj strains among serogroup W meningococci in Italy, 2000 to 2016 [PDF]

, 2019
In Italy, B and C are the predominant serogroups among meningococci causing invasive diseases. Nevertheless, in the period from 2013 to 2016, an increase in serogroup W Neisseria meningitidis (MenW) was observed.

Bacterial porin disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential and sensitizes host cells to apoptosis [PDF]

, 2009
The bacterial PorB porin, an ATP-binding beta-barrel protein of pathogenic Neisseria gonorrhoeae, triggers host cell apoptosis by an unknown mechanism. PorB is targeted to and imported by host cell mitochondria, causing the breakdown of the mitochondrial

The comparative population genetics of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae

PeerJ, 2018
Neisseria meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae are closely related pathogenic bacteria. To compare their population genetics, we compiled a dataset of 1,145 genes found across 20 N. meningitidis and 15 N. gonorrhoeae genomes. We find that N.

Chronic meningococcemia presenting with recurrent painful rash and poly-arthralgia without fever

IDCases, 2018
Chronic meningococcemia is an uncommon disorder, representing a diagnostic challenge. Classically, this pathology would be considered in young adults with a history of episodes of fever, disseminated cutaneous vasculitis and arthralgia.
