Description |
Neisseria meningitidis is a causative agent of meningitis, and is
responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Most
disease-causing N. meningitidis strains belong to Serogroups A, B and C.
Serogroup A strains are responsible for epidemic disease in developing
countries, and Serogroup B and C strains are responsible for outbreaks of
menigitis in the developed world. The 2,272,351-base pair genome of N.
meningitidis Strain MC58 (Serogroup B), a causative agent of meningitis and
septicemia, contains 2158 predicted coding regions, 1158 (53.7%) of which are
responsible for biological roles (Ref.1). N. meningitidis resides in
its natural habitat within the nasopharyngeal tract of
humans.
Glutathione metabolism in N. meningitidis involves both
the synthesis of Glutathione and its catabolism. Glutathione is a [...] |
