    School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland
    Phytother Res 25:828-32. 2011
    ..The present results suggest berry juice polyphenols as inhibitors of adherence of N. meningitidis. Thus the binding of meningococci to berry juice polyphenols might be protective for the host against the infection...
