Description and Nomenclature of Neisseria meningitidis Capsule Locus

Description and Nomenclature of Neisseria meningitidis Capsule Locus

Pathogenic Neisseria meningitidis isolates contain a polysaccharide capsule that is the main virulence determinant for this bacterium. Thirteen capsular polysaccharides have been described, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has enabled determination of the structure of capsular polysacchar...
