The meningococcus tamed?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis is a frequent cause of invasive meningococcal disease, yet there are no effective vaccines suitable for routine immunisation. Limited efficacy has been shown with meningococcal outer membrane vacccines in children 4 years and older. Here we review the status of current research and consider new approaches to development of meningococcal serogroup B vaccines.

Studies on the Shwartzman Phenomenon
Formalin induces a considerable change in meningococcus culture filtrates. This consists of a marked decrease in toxidty as concerns both the Shwartzman phenomenon and the lethal effect, with relative preservation of the antibody-combining capacity and antigenicity. A similar modification occurs spontaneously in meningococcus culture filtrates on standing. Inasmuch as these changes parallel tho...
متن کاملA Tamed 3d Navier-stokes Equation in Domains
In this paper, we analyze a tamed 3D Navier-Stokes equation in uniform C-domains (not necessarily bounded), which obeys the scaling invariance principle, and prove the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to this tamed equation. In particular, if there exists a bounded solution to the classical 3D Navier-Stokes equation, then this solution satisfies our tamed equation. Moreover, the exi...
متن کاملEffect of ampicillin and chloramphenicol against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis.
Antagonism, determined by isobolograms constructed from data from combinations of ampicillin and chloramphenicol at or below the minimal inhibitory or bactericidal concentrations, was observed against 13 clinical isolates of meningococcus and against one isolate of pneumococcus. Synergy occurred against six strains of pneumococcus and three of meningococcus. Additive effects were noted against ...
متن کاملTamed 3d Navier-stokes Equation: Existence, Uniqueness and Regularity
In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a smooth solution to a tamed 3D Navier-Stokes equation in the whole space. In particular, if there exists a bounded smooth solution to the classical 3D Navier-Stokes equation, then this solution satisfies our tamed equation. Moreover, using this renomalized equation we can give a new construction for a suitable weak solution of the classic...
متن کاملThe Effect of Carbon Dioxide in the Cultivation of the Meningococcus
The meningococcus is not a "microaerophile." It grows equally well in atmospheres containing from 15 to 40 per cent oxygen. If small amounts of carbon dioxide affect the growth of the meningococcus on an artificial medium it is by changing the reaction of the medium, not by slightly reducing the oxygen tension of the surrounding air. The fallibility of titrating the total acidity of a medium is...
