1. Infections in the central nervous system with focus on meningococcal disease : clinical and epidemiological aspects
Sammanfattning : Infections in the central nervous system (CNS) include meningitis and encephalitis and are associated with high mortality and morbidity. A large number of different pathogens can cause these infections, including Neisseria meningitidis. LÄS MER
2. Characterisation of Neisseria meningitidis from a virulence and immunogenic perspective that includes variations in novel vaccine antigens
Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis, also referred to as meningococcus, is a Gram-negative diplococcal bacterium best known as an important cause of meningitis and septicaemia worldwide. Meningococcal disease is a rare but life-threatening illness that may progress to death despite optimal medical care including appropriate antibiotic therapy. LÄS MER
3. Immune modulation of macrophages by the meningococcal surface protein NhhA
Sammanfattning : Functional immune modulation of macrophages play important role during bacterial infection. Neisseria meningitidis, a gram-negative diplococcal bacterium, is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis and fatal septic shock. However, it is also a commensal bacterium that colonizes the nasopharynx of healthy individuals asymptomatically. LÄS MER
4. Genome-based characterization of Neisseria meningitidis with focus on the emergent serogroup Y disease
Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis, also referred to as meningococcus, is one of the leading causes of epidemic meningitis and septicaemia worldwide. Despite modern treatment, meningococcal disease remains associated with a high mortality (about 10%). LÄS MER
5. Antibiotic susceptibility and resistance in Neisseria meningitidis : phenotypic and genotypic characteristics
Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis, also known as the meningococcus, is a globally spread obligate human bacterium causing meningitis and/or septicaemia. It is responsible for epidemics in both developed and developing countries. LÄS MER
