Impact of host factors and invasive meningococci on bacterial adhesion, proliferation, primary nasal epithelial barrier function, and immune response

Impact of host factors and invasive meningococci on bacterial adhesion, proliferation, primary nasal epithelial barrier function, and immune response

ABSTRACT Neisseria meningitidis colonizes the human upper airway mucosa, which can progress into invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) upon breaching the epithelial barrier. Some serogroups and lineages are associated with IMD, whereas others rarely infect patients. Although multiple virulence factor...
