Abstract excerpt

The neuroinvasive pathogen Neisseria meningitidis has 13 capsular serogroups, but the majority of disease is caused by only 5 of these. Groups B, C, Y, and W-135 all display a polymeric sialic acid-containing capsule that provides a means for the bacteria to evade the immune response during infec...
