Characterization of strains of Neisseria meningitidis recovered from complement-sufficient and complement-deficient patients in the Western Cape Province, South Africa.
Complement deficiency has been associated with increased susceptibility to meningococcal disease. In order to determine whether special meningococcal strains caused disease in complement-deficient (CD) patients, 17 Neisseria meningitidis strains recovered from patients in the Western Cape Province, South Africa, known to be CD were compared with 124 routine isolates obtained from patients livin...
متن کاملClonal analysis of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B strains in South Africa, 2002 to 2006: emergence of new clone ST-4240/6688.
From August 1999 through July 2002, hyperinvasive Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MenB) clonal complexes (CCs), namely, ST-32/ET-5 (CC32) and ST-41/44/lineage 3 (CC41/44), were predominant in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. This study analyzed MenB invasive isolates from a national laboratory-based surveillance system that were collected from January 2002 through December 2006....
متن کاملSerogroups and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Neisseria meningitidis isolated from army recruits in a training camp.
Invasive Neisseria meningitidis infection is rare but carries a high mortality rate. The carriage rate in the normal population is around 10% and can be higher in confined populations. A study on the prevalence of carriage of N. meningitidis was conducted among 3195 army recruits after 2 months of intensive training in an army camp. N. meningitidis was isolated from 37.0% of these recruits. Two...
متن کاملBacteraemia in children in the south-western Cape. A hospital-based survey.
During 1989, of the 8,524 children admitted to the paediatric wards of Tygerberg Hospital, 165 (1.96%) had bacteraemia. The incidence of community-acquired bacteraemias was 1.6% and that of nosocomial bacteraemias 0.5%. The most important community-acquired isolates were Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Neisseria meningitidis. The most important nosocomial isolates were Klebs...
متن کاملIn silico Homology Modeling and Epitope Prediction of NadA as a Potential Vaccine Candidate in Neisseria meningitidis
Neisseria meningitidis is a facultative pathogen bacterium which is well founded with a number of adhesion molecules to facilitate its colonization in human nasopharynx track. Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of mortality from sever meningococcal disease and septicemia. The Neisseria meningitidis adhesion, NadA, is a trimeric autotransporter adhesion molecule which is involved in cell ad...
