Site-specific insertion of IS1301 and distribution in Neisseria meningitidis strains.

Hilse, R, Hammerschmidt, S, Bautsch, W, Frosch, M

The insertion element IS1301 has been shown to mediate capsule phase variation in Neisseria meningitidis found in N. serogroup B by reversible insertional inactivation of the siaA gene. We have...

Genes associated with meningococcal capsule complex are also found in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Petering, H, Hammerschmidt, S, Frosch, M, Van Putten, J P, Ison, C A, Robertson, B D

A homolog of the meningococcal cps locus region E has been identified in Neisseria gonorrhoeae immediately upstream of the gonococcal region D locus. Region E has no detectable function in capsule...

Modulation of cell surface sialic acid expression in Neisseria meningitidis via a transposable genetic element.

Hammerschmidt, S, Hilse, R, Van Putten, J P, Gerardy-Schahn, R, Unkmeir, A, Frosch, M

Cell surface-located sialic acids of the capsule and the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) are both pivotal virulence factors in Neisseria meningitidis, promoting survival and dissemination of this pathogen...
