Homology of cryptic plasmid of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with plasmids from Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria lactamica.
DNA probe hybridisation was used to examine the relation between the cryptic plasmid from Neisseria gonorrhoeae and plasmids carried by pharyngeal isolates of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria lactamica. The complete gonococcal cryptic plasmid and HinfI derived digestion fragments subcloned into Escherichia coli were used to probe Southern blots of plasmid extracts. Homology was found to a p...
متن کاملMathematical modelling of infection and disease due to Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria lactamica.
BACKGROUND Invasive meningococcal disease, due to Neisseria meningitidis, is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in young children and adolescents. Nasopharyngeal carriage of meningococci (MC), is most prevalent in young adults whereas carriage of Neisseria lactamica (LC), a related non-pathogenic organism, is most prevalent in young children. The objective of this study was to use mo...
متن کاملComparative Proteomics Analysis of Two Strains of Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B and Neisseria lactamica
BACKGROUND Antigenic similarities between Neisseria lactamica as a commensal species and N. meningitidis serogroup B (NmB) as an important cause of meningitis infection have been considered for the development of an effective vaccine based on their common proteins to prevent life-threatening bacterial meningitis. OBJECTIVES The main aims of this study were to determine whole proteome profiles...
متن کاملBioinformatic analysis of outer membrane proteome of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria lactamica.
Two-dimensional electrophoresis (isoelectric focusing/SDS-PAGE) and Western-blotting techniques were used to analyze and compare common and/or specific outer-membrane proteins and antigens from Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria lactamica. Bioinformatic image analyses of proteome and immunoproteome maps indicated the presence of numerous proteins and several antigens shared by N. meningitidis...
متن کاملcomparative proteomics analysis of two strains of neisseria meningitidis serogroup b and neisseria lactamica
conclusions these results show the usefulness of proteome analysis in successful identification of the common proteins between n. lactamica strains and nmb. this proteomics analysis is the starting point in the path of knowledge development about whole proteome profiles of n. lactamica strains. objectives the main aims of this study were to determine whole proteome profiles of n. lactamica stra...
