Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been shown to form biofilms during cervical infection. Thus,
biofilm formation may play an important role in the infection of women. The ability of N …

In this study we utilized immortalized morphologically and functionally distinct epithelial cell
lines from normal human endocervix, ectocervix, and vagina to characterize gonococcal …

The human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae recruits and interacts extensively with
polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) during infection. N. gonorrhoeae is able to survive …

Experiments in vitro suggest that Neisseria gonorrhoeae surface variation plays a key role in
gonococcal pathogenesis by providing the appropriate bacterial phenotypes to go through …

Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonize human mucosal surfaces and
cause sepsis/meningitis and gonorrhoea respectively. The first step in the infection process …

The six-component maintenance of lipid asymmetry (Mla) system is responsible for
retrograde transport of phospholipids, ensuring the barrier function of the Gram-negative cell …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococcus) is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes gonorrhoea—
a sexually transmitted disease. This gonococcus has progressively developed resistance to …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an exquisitely adapted, strictly human pathogen and the causative
agent of the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea. This ancient human disease remains a …

Symptomatic infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gc) results in a potent
polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN)‐driven inflammatory response, but the mechanisms by …

The concept of immunizing against gonorrhea has received renewed interest because of the
recent emergence of strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae that are resistant to most currently …
