HAMAP: Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C (strain 053442) complete proteome

General information

Species:  Neisseria meningitidis serogroup C (strain 053442)
Species code: NEIM0
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Neisseriales; Neisseriaceae; Neisseria (TaxID: 374833) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Neisseria meningitidis is a Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the mucosal surface of the human nose and throat, usually as a commensal bacterium. Up to 15% of the human population are asymptomatic carriers. Sometimes the strains can invade the host, causing life-threatening invasive bacterial infections especially in young infants. They do so by gaining access to the blood and to the cerebrospinal fluid to cause meningitis and septicemia. Thus it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality.
N. meningitidis strain 053442 is serogroup C, belonging to sequence-type 4821 (ST-4821), which was responsible for 10 meningitidis outbreaks between 2003 and 2005 in Anhui Province, China. In that same time period ST-4821 was the predominant genotype, accounting for 75% of the serogroup C genotypes found in 12 provinces of China.
