A regulatory RNA is associated to invasive meningococcal disease in Europe

2019-03-20

Abstract excerpt

The strictly human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis is a commensal bacterium but can occasionally turn lethal causing septicaemia and meningitis. The mechanisms of how the meningococcus shifts to invasive infection remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that an eight base-pair tandem repeat deletion in the 5’-untranslated region of the polysaccharide capsular biosynthesis operon results in a hypercapsulatio...
