Meningococcal factor H binding protein fHbpd184 polymorphism influences clinical course of meningococcal meningitis.

Meningococcal factor H binding protein fHbpd184 polymorphism influences clinical course of meningococcal meningitis.

Factor H Binding protein (fHbp) is an important meningococcal virulence factor, enabling the meningococcus to evade the complement system, and a main target for vaccination.
