Article Synopsis
- Neisseria meningitidis is a dangerous bacterium primarily affecting young children, teenagers, and young adults.
- Researchers tested the protective qualities of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and detoxified lipooligosaccharide (dLOS) from common Brazilian strains of N. meningitidis serogroup B, finding them to be more effective than a reference vaccine.
- Mice immunized with these Brazilian formulations showed high survival rates and bacterial clearance, alongside reduced inflammatory response, suggesting strong potential for use as a vaccine candidate in clinical settings.
