The polysaccharide capsule is a key virulence determinant and for serogroups A C W and Y it forms the basis of polysaccharide conjugate vaccines. Meningitidis are classified into twelve serogroups based on capsular polysaccharide composition but only six serogroups A B C W X and Y are associated with IMD 3.
