Members of the carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM) family
serve as cellular receptors for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. More specifically, neisserial colony …

Symptomatic infection of humans with Neisseria gonorrhoeae is characterized by a
neutrophil-rich cervical or urethral exudate, suggesting that neutrophils are important both …

Individual Neisseria gonorrhoeae colony opacity-associated (Opa) protein variants can bind
up to four different carcinoembryonic antigen-related cellular adhesion molecule (CEACAM) …

The gonococcal Opa proteins are an antigenically variable family of surface adhesins that
bind human carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection is characterized by local and abundant recruitment of
neutrophils. Despite neutrophils' antimicrobial activities, viable N. gonorrhoeae is recovered …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae express opacity-associated (Opa) protein adhesins that mediate
binding to various members of the carcinoembryonic antigen-related cellular adhesion …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae colony opacity-associated (Opa) proteins bind to human
carcinoembryonic antigen cellular adhesion molecules (CEACAM) found on host cells …

Human carcinoembryonic antigen‐related cell adhesion molecules (CEACAMs) are a family
of receptors that mediate intercellular interactions. Pathogenic bacteria have ligands that …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae has a repertoire of up to 11 opacity‐associated (Opa) proteins that
are adhesins. Most Opa proteins adhere to CEACAM antigens and when CEACAM …

Infections by Neisseria gonorrhoeae are increasingly common, are often caused by
antibiotic-resistant strains, and can result in serious and lasting sequelae, prompting the …
