Tzeng Y, Martin L, Stephens D
Epidemiol Infect . 2013 Apr; 142(1):187-90. PMID: 23574798
Neisseria meningitidis is transmitted through the inhalation of large human respiratory droplets, but the risk from contaminated environmental surfaces is controversial. Compared to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumanni, meningococcal viability...

Cantey P, Stephens D, Rimland D
HIV Med . 2005 Jul; 6(4):253-9. PMID: 16011530
Despite advances in the treatment of HIV disease, the incidence and mortality of invasive cryptococcal disease remain significant. A matched, case-control study was performed to examine the impact of highly...

Glycobiology . 2001 Aug; 11(8):703-9. PMID: 11479281
The inner core structures of the lipooligosaccharides (LOS) of Neisseria meningitidis are potential vaccine candidates because both bactericidal and opsonic antibodies can be generated against these epitopes. In an effort...

Gay K, Stephens D
J Infect Dis . 2001 Jun; 184(1):56-65. PMID: 11398110
Macrolide resistance associated with macrolide efflux (mef) has rapidly increased in Streptococcus pneumoniae. We defined the genetic structure and dissemination of a novel mefE-containing chromosomal insertion element. The mefE gene...
