Following infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, bacteria may ascend into the Fallopian
tubes (FT) and induce salpingitis, a major cause of infertility. In the FT, interactions between …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an obligate human pathogen that causes mucosal surface
infections of male and female reproductive tracts, pharynx, rectum, and conjunctiva …

Infection of the Fallopian tubes (FT) by Neisseria gonorrhoeae can lead to acute salpingitis,
an inflammatory condition, which is a major cause of infertility. Challenge of explants of …

Goals of the Study: To determine:(1) whether the PPCA values and the TNF-α
concentrations in fallopian tube mucosal tissues correlate closely enough to allow prediction …

Resumen REYES, PAZ A et al. Apoptosis related genes expressed in cultured Fallopian
tube epithelial cells infected in vitro with Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Biol. Res.[online]. 2007 …

Several microbial pathogens can modulate the host apoptotic response to infection, which
may contribute to immune evasion. Various studies have reported that infection with the …

Background. A role for pilus during attachment of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to epithelia of the
female reproductive tract is currently assumed. However, Pil− gonococci have been …

The human‐adapted organism Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the causative agent of gonorrhoea,
a sexually transmitted infection. It readily colonizes the genital, rectal and nasalpharyngeal …

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

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) results from ascension of sexually transmitted pathogens
from the lower genital tract to the uterus and/or fallopian tubes in women, with potential …
