We show using several methodologies that the Gram-negative, diplococcal-bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae has more than one complete genome copy per cell. Gene dosage measurements demonstrated that only a single replication initiation event per chromosome occurs per round of cell division, and that there is a single origin of replication. The region containing the origin does not encode any genes...

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...
