The <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> iron acquisition protein HpuA moonlights as an adhesin and inhibits host cell migration

2022-02-25

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis can cause meningococcal disease, a rapidly developing and potentially fatal infection. Despite this, it normally resides as a commensal in the nasopharynx of healthy individuals. The mechanisms by which meningococci access deeper tissues remain unknown. Epidemiological data suggest that mucosal disruptions increase the risk of meningococcal disease. We previously investigated whether meningo...
