Neisseria meningitides

In different polysaccharides of the teichoic acid type, monosaccharides or oligosaccharides are connected by phosphoric diester linkages. Two examples are the capsular antigens from Neisseria meningitides type A (56) and Haemophilus influenzae type c (57), respectively. Glycerol phosphate...

In an animal study, lipopolysaccarides were extracted from detoxified E. coli J5, combined with outer membrane protein of Neisseria meningitides and injected in rabbits. The serum of the immune animals protected neutropenic rats infected with other Gram-negative organisms (Bhattacharjee et al., 1996 Cross et al., 2001).

Finally, some bacterial pathogens cause disease only accidentally. Indeed, the disease actually limits the spread of the bacteria to another host. Examples of these accidental pathogens include Neisseria meningitides and Bacteroides fragilis. 

For example, the kinetics of Fe dissociation from Fe +nFbp(X) (nFbp = recombinant ferric binding protein from Neisseria meningitides, X = P04, citrate) driven by H+ were studied by pH-Jump stopped-flow methods. Researchers used this technique to induce Fe + dissociation from Fe + nFbp(X) (X = P04, citrate), which enabled researchers to study the mechanism in the absence of... 

Figure 7.8 Neisseria meningitides and N. gonorrhea are the only gram negatives that are susceptible to penicillin G and other narrow spectrum penicillins. Ceftriaxone has now replaced penicillin as the drug of choice for N. gonorrhea due to the emergence of penicillin-resistant strains.

Some FeNO complexes have been synthesized to mimic the structure and function of nitric oxide reductase enzymes, which can be separated into two classes. One class utilizes a heme/nonheme active site to reduce two equivalents of NO into N2O and is found in denitrifying bacteria (NorBC) (18,19). Another class is found in pathogenic bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori. Neisseria meningitides, and Salmonella enterica. These microbes have evolved ways to handle attack by NO by converting it to relatively ben p N2O through the expression of nitric oxide reductases utilizing a nonheme diiron protein that has a flavin cofactor within 4 A of the active site metals (FNORs Figure 7) (16,17). A few recent (2011—2014) FeNO complexes have been constructed to model FNORs in order to probe the mechanism of this di-Fe enzyme. These complexes will be discussed below.
