Bacteremia in an immunocompromised patient caused by a commensal Neisseria meningitidis strain harboring the capsule null locus (cnl)

Abstract

We recently described the capsule null locus (cnl) of constitutively unencapsulated Neisseria meningitidis clonal lineages. cnl meningococci were recovered from healthy carriers at high frequency. We here report on the first case of invasive disease caused by cnl meningococci in a severely immunosuppressed patient with chronic graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. The sequence type 845 strain was extensively typed and, furthermore, shown to be sensitive to serum bactericidal activity.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
