Genetic susceptibility to meningococcal infection.

Expert review of anti-infective therapy - 1 Feb 2013

Dale Adam P, Read Robert C

Abstract excerpt

Meningococcal disease is caused by a limited range of clonal complexes of Neisseria meningitidis. The disease occurs in people who lack bactericidal antibodies to this pathogen, and therefore the patients are reliant on innate immunity or components of acquired immunity other than bactericidal antibodies. Gene variants that influence the function of innate and acquired immune response components have been...
