Abstract:

The human specific pathogen, Neisseria meningitidis, is highly adapted to its host and the environment in the upper respiratory tract. The bacterium has evolved sophisticated mechanisms to evade detection by the complement system. These will be discussed along with their implications for host susceptibilty, strain virulence, and vaccine design.
