Genes and Polypeptides of Neisseria Musculi that can be used to Evaluate Vaccines and Anti-Bacterial Compounds against Infection by Pathogenic Neisseria Species
A set of Neisseria musculi (Nmus) genes have been identified which promote Nmus infection and persistence in its natural host, the mouse. These genes have never been described before, so the in-host function of their encoded proteins is unknown. These genes are present in the human pathogenic Neisseria, N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae. These genes...

A Natural Mouse Model that Enables the Discovery and Characterization of Bacterial and Host Factors that Mediate Neisseria Colonization and Persistence, and Targets for Vaccines and Antimicrobials
This technology is a natural small animal model that circumvents the barriers of host restriction, often seen when studying Neisseria species. This model can be used to study host determinants controlling colonization resistance and factors involved in Neisseria-host interactions and screening therapeutics and vaccines against Neisseria. Background: Neisseria...
