Abstract excerpt

Capsule switching in Neisseria meningitidis is thought to occur by horizontal DNA exchange between meningococcal strains. Antigenic variants may be generated by allelic replacement of the siaD gene; the variants may then be selected by specific immunity against the capsular antigen. There were several vaccination campaigns against serogroup C in France in 2002, following an increase in the prevalence of invasive...
