Inhibition of Neisseria gonorrhoeae epithelial cell interactions by vaginal Lactobacillus species.
High levels of Lactobacillus, the dominant genus of the healthy human vaginal microbiota, have been epidemiologically linked to a reduced risk of infection following exposure to the sexually transmitted pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In this work, a cell culture model of gonococcal infection was adapted to examine the effects of lactobacilli on gonococcal interactions with endometrial epitheli...
متن کاملInhibition of adherence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by human genital secretions.
Local genital antibodies to the infecting strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence (binding antibody) and by their ability to inhibit the attachment of gonococci to epithelial cells (functional antibody). Both IgG and IgA classes of immunoglobulin were involved, and the IgA component were primarily of a secreting (11S) nature. The ability of local genita...
متن کاملIn vitro inhibition of Neisseria gonorrhoeae growth by strict anaerobes.
Thirty two anaerobic bacterial strains were screened for their in vitro inhibitory activity toward 21 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, including two penicillin-resistant strains. From this screening, six anaerobic bacteria belonging to the genera Bacteroides, Peptostreptococcus, and Eubacterium were selected for their large antigonococcal spectrum of activity. The inhibitory activity of these six...
متن کاملInhibition of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by normal human saliva.
Saliva was found to be a powerful and specific inhibitor of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Although 28 other species of bacteria were tested, including Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria pharyngis var flava, Neisseria lactamica, and Neisseria catarrhalis, we failed to find any others sensitive to saliva under similar conditions. The physical properties of the inhibitory substance indicated that it might...
متن کاملEffect of various analgesics and lubricants on isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Five preparations used as analgesics or lubricants in surgical, obstetrical, gynecological, and investigative procedures were tested for their effect on the isolation of Chlamydia trachomatis. Three lignocaine preparations and a lubricating jelly containing 2% phenol were inhibitory to chlamydiae. In contrast, K-Y lubricating jelly was relatively nontoxic to chlamydiae. Since K-Y jelly also had...
