Evolutionary and genomic insights into meningococcal biology.

Future microbiology - 1 Jul 2012

Bratcher Holly B, Bennett Julia S, Maiden Martin C J

Abstract excerpt

Epidemic disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis, the meningococcus, has been recognized for two centuries, but remains incompletely controlled and understood. There have been dramatic reductions in serogroup A and C meningococcal disease following the introduction of protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccines, but there is currently no comprehensive vaccine against serogroup B meningococci. Genetic analyses of...
