The role of exopolyphosphatase in Neisseria meningitidis infection

2009-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The development of vaccines against serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis to reduce the morbidity and mortality of meningococcal disease is a major public health priority. We developed a novel genetic screen for immunogens present on the bacterial surface using human immune sera with bactericidal activity. We found that two mutants lacking nmb1467 survived in high concentrations of sera from two patients, while the w...
