Plasmids 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 کاملErythromycin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae and oral commensal Neisseria spp. carry known rRNA methylase genes.
Two Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from Seattle and two isolates from Uruguay were resistant to erythromycin (MIC, 4 to 16 microg/ml) and had reduced susceptibility to azithromycin (MIC, 1 to 4 microg/ml) due to the presence of the self-mobile rRNA methylase gene(s) ermF or ermB and ermF. The two Seattle isolates and one isolate from Uruguay were multiresistant, carrying either the 25.2-MDa tet...
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 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...
