As a basis for studies of gonococcal pathogenicity, tissue culture cells were infected with
type 1 or type 4 Neisseria gonorrhoeae to determine intracellular viability. A simple and …

Phagocytosis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in tissue cell-cultures may protect it from the lethal
action of bactericidal agents. Type reversal from avirulent to virulent gonococci was not …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae was cultivated in mammalian cell cultures in an effort to determine if
this environment will elicit a T4→ T1 transition. Of four avirulent (T4) isolates tested, only …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae 188, type 1, was cultured with monolayers of Rhesus monkey kidney
(RE2) cells. Attachment of gonococci to RE2 cells occurred from about 2 h after inoculation …

A tissue culture model has been developed for studying the ability of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
to invade eucaryotic cells. The cell line HecIB, a human adenocarcinoma endometrial cell …

The attachment of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to eukaryotic cells grown in tissue culture was
analyzed by use of light and electron microscopy and by labeling of the bacteria with [3 H] …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae was cultivated in a human diploid cell strain (WI-38). Eighty percent
of the cultures contained viable gonococci for at least 4 m at 36 C, as evidenced by …

Virulent cells (T1 colony type) and avirulent cells (T4 colony type) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
were grown in a defined liquid medium in the presence of different antimicrobial agents …

A broth medium that supports growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to high densities with
minimal lysis is described. With most gonococcal strains, inocula of 2 x 10 (6) colony-forming …

Growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from clinical specimens has been enhanced by the use of
selective media that inhibit the simultaneous growth of other microorganisms. One …
