Interference by Neisseria gonorrhoeae growth by other bacterial species.
Growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from clinical specimens has been enhanced by the use of selective media that inhibit the simultaneous growth of other microorganisms. One explanation for this enhancement could be that certain other bacteria inhibit gonococcal growth. This hypothesis was examined by testing 167 bacterial isolates for in vitro gonococcal inhibition; 34.1% of the isolates failed to...
متن کاملIdentification of regions of the chromosome of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae which are specific to the pathogenic Neisseria species.
Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae give rise to dramatically different diseases. Their interactions with the host, however, do share common characteristics: they are both human pathogens which do not survive in the environment and which colonize and invade mucosa at their port of entry. It is therefore likely that they have common properties that might not be found in nonpathogeni...
متن کاملPlasmids of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other Neisseria species.
a These species were shown to carry plasmids of various sizes which hybridized with probes made from the 2.6-MDa plasmid. b Related plasmids are found in the genus Haemophilus (4). Identical plasmids are found in clinical isolates of K. denitrificans and Eikenella corrodens (24). d Related plasmids are found in enteric bacteria and Eikenella corrodens
متن کاملSpecies-specific irreversible inhibition of Neisseria gonorrhoeae dihydrofolate reductase by a substituted 2,4-diamino-5-benzylpyrimidine.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae dihydrofolate reductase undergoes a time-dependent, irreversible inactivation by 2,4-diamino-5-[3,5-dimethoxy-4-(p-bromoacetamidophenoxy)benzyl] pyrimidine. The kinetics of inactivation are consistent with the reversible formation of an enzyme-inhibitor complex followed by covalent binding to the enzyme. The reversible component is competitive with dihydrofolate and has an...
متن کاملSerovar specific immunity to Neisseria gonorrhoeae: does it exist?
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the host immune response to gonorrhoea provides limited serovar specific protection from reinfection. SUBJECTS 508 episodes of gonorrhoea diagnosed at a city centre genitourinary medicine clinic including 22 patients with multiple infections over a 4 year period. METHODS Patients with recurrent gonococcal infection were analysed with respect to the initial and...
