Abstract

Alternative strategies exist for prevention of group B Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcal) disease through vaccination (see Chapters 5 , 8 , 13 , 14 in this volume). However, the most promising approach to date has been the use of outer-membrane vesicle (OMV) vaccines for induction of bactericidal antibodies against cell-surface outer-membrane proteins (OMPs).
