Protection against <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> nasopharyngeal colonization relies on antibody opsonization and phagocytosis by neutrophils

2024-09-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Neisseria meningitidis is a human-restricted pathogen that can cause a rapidly progressing invasive meningococcal disease, yet it is also a regular inhabitant of the human nasopharynx. Vaccines that target N. meningitidis aim to prevent invasive disease, but their ability to interfere with nasal colonization could effectively eradicate this bacteria in a population, and so is an important targe...
