N ‐Acyl Amides from Neisseria meningitidis and Their Role in Sphingosine Receptor Signaling

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Neisseria meningitidis is a Gram‐negative opportunistic pathogen that is responsible for causing human diseases with high mortality, such as septicemia and meningitis. The molecular mechanisms N. meningitidis employ to manipulate the immune system, translocate the mucosal and blood‐brain barriers, and exert virulence are largely unknown. Human‐associated bacteria encode a variety of bioactive small...
