title: Molecular analysis of the meningococcal LPS expression.
abstract: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is one of the major virulence factors of Neisseria meningitidis (1), with proposed roles in bacterial attachment to the host, invasion of host tissues, serum resistance, evasion of the host immune response, and the pathogenesis of sepsis syndrome. Accordingly it has become an important target for research.
