Pharyngeal carriage of Neisseria species in the African meningitis belt
Objectives. Neisseria meningitidis, together with the non-pathogenic Neisseria species (NPNs), are members of the complex microbiota of the human pharynx. This paper investigates the influence of NPNs on the epidemiology of meningococcal infection. Methods. Neisseria isolates were collected during 1...
