Experimental Gonococcal Infection in Male Volunteers: Cumulative Experience with Neisseria gonorrhoeae Strains FA1090 and MS11mkC
Experimental infection of male volunteers with Neisseria gonorrhoeae is safe and reproduces the clinical features of naturally acquired gonococcal urethritis. Human inoculation studies have helped define the natural history of experimental infection with two well-characterized strains of N. gonorrhoeae, FA1090 and MS11mkC. The human model has proved useful for testing the importance of putative...
متن کاملSialylation lessens the infectivity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae MS11mkC.
In a human challenge experiment, the infectivity of gonococci with sialylated lipooligosaccharide (LOS) was compared with the infectivity of gonococci with unsialylated LOS. Volunteers were intraurethrally inoculated with approximately 5000 sialylated or unsialylated piliated, non-opaque (P+Opa-, transparent) colony type gonococci, strain MS11mkC. Five (83%) of 6 volunteers inoculated with unsi...
متن کاملType III Methyltransferase M.NgoAX from Neisseria gonorrhoeae FA1090 Regulates Biofilm Formation and Interactions with Human Cells
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the etiological factor of the sexually transmitted gonorrhea disease that may lead, under specific conditions, to systemic infections. The gonococcal genome encodes many restriction modification (RM) systems, which main biological role is to defend the pathogen from potentially harmful foreign DNA. However, RM systems seem also to be involved in several other functions....
متن کاملIntravaginal Administration of Interleukin 12 during Genital Gonococcal Infection in Mice Induces Immunity to Heterologous Strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
It has previously been shown that genital tract infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae in mice does not induce a state of protective immunity against reinfection but instead suppresses the development of adaptive immune responses against N. gonorrhoeae dependent on transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and interleukin 10 (IL-10). Intravaginal administration during gonococcal infection of IL-12 ...
متن کاملExperimental gonococcal genital tract infection and opacity protein expression in estradiol-treated mice.
The development of effective prophylactic agents against gonorrhea and the study of adaptation by Neisseria gonorrhoeae to the urogenital mucosa are hindered by the lack of a well-established animal model of gonococcal genital tract infection. Here, a murine model of long-term gonococcal genital tract infection is described. Female BALB/c mice were treated with 17-beta-estradiol and inoculated ...
