Several bacterial pathogens persist and survive in the host by modulating host cell death
pathways. We previously demonstrated that Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a Gram-negative …

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 …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococcus) infection results in recruitment of polymorphonuclear
leukocytes (PMNs) to the urethral lumen. Recent work from our laboratory demonstrated that …

The bacterial pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae is able to transmigrate across the mucosal
epithelia following the intracellular route and cause disseminated infections. It is currently …

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

Infection of the mucosa by Neisseria gonorrhoeae involves adherence to and invasion of
epithelial cells. Little is known, however, about the expression by mucosal epithelial cells of …

In order to better understand the host response to an infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae,
microarray technology was used to analyse the gene expression profile between uninfected …

Symptomatic infection of humans with Neisseria gonorrhoeae is characterized by a
neutrophil-rich cervical or urethral exudate, suggesting that neutrophils are important both …

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

Phagocytosis of Opa+ Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococcus, GC) by neutrophils is in part
dependent on the interaction of Opa proteins with CGM1a (CEACAM3/CD66d) antigens, a …
