- Abstract:
-
Infectious diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Streptococcus pneumoniae
and Neisseria meningitidis are major causes of severe bacterial disease which can manifest as invasive disease such as bacteraemia and meningitis. Exposure to these pathogens is relatively widespread, yet only a minority of individuals develop invasive disease.
