Attempts to study quantitatively the phagocytosis of gonococci from urethral pus failed
because of the small numbers of organisms and technical difficulties. However, gonococci …

Strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae adhered to pieces of human endocervix and appeared to
be embedded in the surface mucus. Although a pilate strain adhered better than a non-pilate …

An ultrastructural examination of the squamocolumnar junction of the cervix of patients
infected with Neisseria gonorrhoeae is described. Gonococci were found to become firmly …

Four principal colony types of gonococci have been previously described, and it has been
shown that primary isolates from the urethra and cervix are primarily of colony types 1 and 2 …

Small colony variants of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have been found in 3 out of 135 cases of
gonococcal infections in females. These small colony variants were identified as N …

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] …
