Clinical trials: Colonisation
Meningitis, Bacterial
Defining the Immune Response to Nasopharyngeal Colonisation by the Commensal Neisseria Lactamica
Neisseria meningitidis is a 'bad bacteria' which lives harmlessly in the nose and throat of many young adults (a process called colonisation). However, it can occasionally cause serious disease including meningitis.
