An Overview of Neisseria meningitidis

, 2019
Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is a member of the normal nasopharyngeal microbiome in healthy individuals, but can cause septicemia and meningitis in susceptible individuals. In this chapter we provide an overview of the disease caused by N. meningitidis and the schemes used to type the meningococcus. We also review the adhesions, virulence

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.

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...
