The moonlighting peroxiredoxin-glutaredoxin in Neisseria meningitidis binds plasminogen via a C-terminal lysine residue and contributes to survival in a whole blood model (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier Ltd Neisseria meningitidis is a human-restricted bacterium that can invade the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier resulting in life-threatening sepsis and meningitis. Meningococci express a cytoplasmic peroxiredoxin-glutare...

Potentiation of phase variation in multiple outer membrane proteins during spread of the hyperinvasive Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W ST-11 lineage (2019)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Since 2009, increases in invasive meningococcal disease have occurred in the United Kingdom due to a sub-lineage of the Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W ST-11 clonal complex (the 'original-UK' strain). In 2013, a descendent sub-strain...
