Several pathogenic bacteria exploit human carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion
molecules (CEACAMs) for adhesion to and invasion into their host cells. CEACAM isoforms …

Opa adhesins of pathogenic Neisseria species target four members of the human
carcinoembryonic antigen‐related cellular adhesion molecule (CEACAM) family. CEACAM …

An overwhelming neutrophil-driven response causes both acute symptoms and the lasting
sequelae that result from infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Neutrophils undergo an …

Attachment to the host mucosa is a key step in bacterial pathogenesis. On the apical surface
of epithelial cells, members of the human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family are …

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

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

Opacity (Opa) protein variation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is implicated in the pathogenesis
of gonorrhea, possibly by mediating adherence and entry of the bacteria into human tissues …

Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are globally important pathogens, which
in part owe their success to their ability to successfully evade human immune responses …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae cells (gonococci [GC]), the etiological agents for gonorrhea, can
cause repeated infections. During and after gonococcal infection, local and systemic …

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