Genome wide transcriptional profiling of Neisseria meningitidis in an epithelial cell line model of human nasopharyngeal colonization

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is a Gram negative diplococcus which asymptomatically colonizes the human nasopharynx in about 10%-30% of the population. In rare cases it can invade the bloodstream and cross the blood brain barrier to cause sepsis and meningitis. Serogroup B strains are the major cause of disease in the UK. To gain insight into the process of colonization, I have studied the meningococc...
