The capsule of the gonococcus
نویسندگان
چکیده
16 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were subjected to several established techniques for capsule demonstration by light microscopy. In all strains examined, encapsulation of the gonococcus was demonstrated. Although the capsules were somewhat more easily seen in strains recently isolated from clinical material, organisms that had been passaged for several years also were encapsulated as were all the colony types within these strains. The gonococcal capsule is easily disrupted by mechanical forces.

Analysis of the genetic differences between Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae: two closely related bacteria expressing two different pathogenicities.
We have investigated genetic differences between the closely related pathogenic Neisseria species, Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, as a novel approach to the elucidation of the genetic basis for their different pathogenicities. N. meningitidis is a major cause of cerebrospinal meningitis, whereas N. gonorrhoeae is the agent of gonorrhoea. The technique of representational diff...

Neisseria species are gram negative diplococci an important characteristic of these bacteria is resistance against crystal violet. This study was done to investigate the effect of crystal violet on the growth of Neisseria, to observe the outcome of adding this substance in culture media for isolating these organisms, and finally to make a specific medium for isolation of the Nisseria species. ...
