Structure of the virulence-associated <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> filamentous bacteriophage MDAΦ

2024-10-02

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis is a human commensal bacterium that can opportunistically invade the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier, where it can cause septicaemia and meningitis. These diseases, if left untreated, can be lethal within hours. Hyperinvasive N. meningitidis strains often express a genomically encoded filamentous bacteriophage called MDAΦ, which promotes colonisation of mucosal host surfaces t...
