Persistence of hyperinvasive meningococcal strain types during global spread as recorded in the PubMLST database.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Watkins Eleanor R, Maiden Martin C J

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of septicaemia and meningitis worldwide. Most disease in Europe, the Americas and Australasia is caused by meningococci expressing serogroup B capsules, but no vaccine against this polysaccharide exists. Potential candidates for 'serogroup B substitute' vaccines are outer membrane protein antigens including the typing antigens PorA and FetA. The web-accessible PubMLST...
