Resumen
This study aimed the use of mesoporous silica under the naturally transformable Neisseria meningitidis, an important pathogen implicated in the genetic horizontal transfer of DNA causing a escape of the principal vaccination measures worldwide by the capsular switching process. This study verified the effects of mesoporous silica under N. meningitidis transformation specifically under the capsular replacement. we used three different mesoporous silica particles to verify their action in N. meningitis transformation frequency. we verified the increase in the capsular gene replacement of this bacterium with the three mesoporous silica nanoparticles. the mesouporous silica particles were capable of increasing the capsule replacement frequency in N. meningitidis. 9 28
