Virulence factor and MOA for: Meningococcal meningitis |
answer
1. polysaccharide capsule (only in N. Meningitis NOT GC): antiphagocytic. 13 serogroups (A,B,C,Y, W135 most common). We don’t have a vaccine for B so you can get meningitis even with the vaccine. 2. LOS- lipooligosaccharide (no O antigen) - endotoxin: causes immune response (cytokine storm). 3. Pili: Attachment to nasopharyngeal mucosa |
