Cultivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae under low-oxygen conditions.
Sixteen Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains were examined for their abilities to grow under reduced oxygen tension. Low oxygen tensions were developed by evacuation-replacement procedures in which anaerobes and oxidation-reduction indicators were used as controls. All strains survived 96 h in a medium reduced to below -125 mV without visible growth. Detectable growth occurred at 0.05% oxygen, and 33%...
متن کاملNew system for cultivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
A modified Thayer-Martin medium, containing 2.0% agar, 0.25% dextrose, and 5.0 mug of trimethoprim per ml was compared to Thayer-Martin medium for growth of stock cultures of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and for isolation of N. gonorrhoeae from clinical specimens. Stock cultures and male urethral cultures grew equally well on both media, but the modified Thayer-Martin medium detected 10% more female p...
متن کاملIdentification of sRNAs expressed by the human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae under disparate growth conditions
In the last several years, bacterial gene regulation via small RNAs (sRNAs) has been recognized as an important mechanism controlling expression of essential proteins that are critical to bacterial growth and metabolism. Technologies such as RNA-seq are rapidly expanding the field of sRNAs and are enabling a global view of the "sRNAome" of several bacterial species. While numerous sRNAs have be...
متن کاملNeisseria gonorrhoeae
Two fi-lactamase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were studied. The substrate profile, molecular weight, and isoelectric point of their ,8-lactamases were similar to those of the TEM-1 enzyme produced by many gram-negative bacilli. The gonococcal f8-lactamase was cell bound during exponential growth and was most likely located in the periplasm. Penicillin hydrolysis was efficient in i...
متن کاملNeisseria gonorrhoeae
Expression of Type IV pili by the bacteria! pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae appears to be essential for colonization of the human host. Several N. gonorrhoeae gene products have been recently identified which bear homology to proteins invoived in pilus assembly and protein export in other bacterial systems. We report here the isolation and characterization of transposon insertion mutants in N. g...
