We describe the first case of Neisseria meningitidis W135 meningitis in Turkey. The strain was genotypically unrelated to the clone (W)ET-37, isolated from Hajj pilgrims in 2000.
متن کاملNeisseria meningitidis serogroup X sequence type 767 in Turkey.
Neisseria meningitidis is a common inhabitant of the nasopharyngeal tracts of healthy humans and is a significant cause of invasive infections such as meningitis in young children and adolescents worldwide (14). N. meningitidis has been classified into 13 serogroups on the basis of antigenic variation of the capsule, but only serogroups A, B, C, Y, and W-135 have commonly caused invasive infect...

متن کاملNeisseria gonorrhoeae
Two fi-lactamase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were studied. The substrate profile, molecular weight, and isoelectric point of their ,8-lactamases were similar to those of the TEM-1 enzyme produced by many gram-negative bacilli. The gonococcal f8-lactamase was cell bound during exponential growth and was most likely located in the periplasm. Penicillin hydrolysis was efficient in i...
متن کاملNeisseria gonorrhoeae
Expression of Type IV pili by the bacteria! pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae appears to be essential for colonization of the human host. Several N. gonorrhoeae gene products have been recently identified which bear homology to proteins invoived in pilus assembly and protein export in other bacterial systems. We report here the isolation and characterization of transposon insertion mutants in N. g...
