Meningococci are isolated from the nasopharynx of up to 30% of healthy individuals and may be classified as commensals of the human respiratory tract. Meningococci elaborate adhesins such as pili and outer-membrane opacity proteins that may aid in anchorage to mucosal cells, specific nutrient acquisition factors ( iron-binding proteins) and capsule that protects against desiccation.
