Neisseria meningitidis

They have also studied the population genetics of Neisseria meningitidis and made significant contributions to this field.

It is also used in prophylactic therapy against Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcal) infection.

In adults, Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae together cause 80% of bacterial meningitis cases.

Neisseria Meningitidis (Frame): We now say that adolescents need 2 doses of meningococcal conjugate vaccine.

Bacterial meningitis, commonly caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis and referred to as meningococcal meningitis, is sneaky.

Vaccines have been prepared from the capsular polysaccharides of Neisseria meningitidis (groups A, C, W-135, and Y).

The enzyme is found in mammalian liver, as well as in some pathogenic bacteria including Neisseria meningitidis and Staphylococcus aureus.

The capsular polysaccharides of Neisseria meningitidis are attractive vaccine candidates because they constitute the most highly conserved and most exposed bacterial-surface antigens.

Capsules, made of carbohydrate, form part of the outer structure of many bacterial cells including Neisseria meningitidis (causative agent of meningitis).

Some Gram-negative organisms such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis are also reported to be susceptible to Penicillin G.

Earlier also the antibodies against 70 kDa IROMPs of Neisseria meningitidis have been shown to be bactericidal [ 9 ] .

This non-coding RNA was identified in Neisseria meningitidis and is involved in iron regulation of the succinate dehydrogenase genes sdhA and sdhC.

Similar sequences, called DNA uptake sequence (DUS), are found in species belonging to the Neisseriaceae family (including Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae).

This protein belongs to a group of highly conserved small proteins found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, including NMA1147 from Neisseria meningitidis and YgfY from Escherichia coli.

He has worked on pathogenesis, molecular epidemiology and vaccine development of various bacterial pathogens, particularly Neisseria meningitidis (causes meningitis and septicemia) and Campylobacter jejuni (most common cause of food poisoning).

They are both present in Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Xylella fastidiosa, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and are absent in all the other genomes included.
