Journal ArticleDOI
Quality assessed nonculture techniques for detection and typing of meningococci
Muhamed-Kheir Taha,Andrew J. Fox +1 more
TL;DR: PCR protocols are increasingly used in laboratories worldwide for the diagnosis and confirmation of invasive meningococcal infection and the implementation of quality assurance (QA) schemes and standardization of protocols are required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the human Ig isotype response to individual transferrin binding proteins A and B from Neisseria meningitidis
TL;DR: The variability of immune responses to each Tbp from the two strains suggests that a successful vaccine would need to include TbpA and TbpB from a number of strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
The surface structure seen on gonococci after treatment with CMP-NANA is due to sialylation of surface lipopolysaccharide previously described as a 'capsule'.
Andrew J. Fox,Alan Curry,D.M. Jones,Raquel Demarco de Hormaeche,N. J. Parsons,J. A. Cole,Harry Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that sialylation by CMP-NANA and staining with ruthenium red renders more visible the surface LPS which, sometimes in the past, has been seen as a 'capsule'.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity of the PorB Protein in Serotype 22 Neisseria meningitidis
TL;DR: This procedure identified seven distinct porBsequences, demonstrating variation in the PorB protein recognized by the serotypes 22 monoclonal antibody, consistent with the genetic heterogeneity of serotype 22 meningococci reported previously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific detection of Campylobacter jejuni from faeces using single nucleotide polymorphisms
TL;DR: This method provides a novel strategy for the use of real-time PCR for detection and characterization beyond species level, supplying real- time epidemiological data, which is comparable with MLST results.
