A preliminary study of the prevalence of Gonococcal genital infection in 500 non – pregnant women referring to a private and public clinic in Kerman, Iran
To prevent the Gonococcal opthalmia neonatorum in many countries including Iran application of 1℅ tetracycline ophthalmic ointment is a common practice. To evaluate the prevalence of Gonococcal genital infection and the ophthalmic prophylaxis regimen we have tested specimens which were collected from the endocervix of 500 non – pregnant women attending a private and public gynecology clinic...
متن کاملExpression of AniA, the major anaerobically induced outer membrane protein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, provides protection against killing by normal human sera.
Anaerobically grown Neisseria gonorrhoeae has previously been shown to have elevated serum resistance in the absence of exogenous CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid or detectable sialylation. We hypothesized that the anaerobically induced gonococcal outer membrane protein AniA might have a role in this phenomenon, as it is the only known gonococcal protein that is absent under aerobic conditions. An N...
متن کاملA Neisseria gonorrhoeae immunoglobulin A1 protease mutant is infectious in the human challenge model of urethral infection.
Many mucosal pathogens, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae, produce proteases that cleave immunoglobulin A (IgA), the predominant immunoglobulin class produced at mucosal surfaces. While considerable circumstantial evidence suggests that IgA1 protease contributes to gonococcal virulence, there is no direct evidence that N. gonorrhoeae requires IgA1 protease activity to infect a human host. We cons...
متن کاملIncidence of Non-Gonococcal Infection in Childbearing and Pregnant Women in Ardabil
Non-gonococcal infections causes are made up of Chlamydia trachomatis (one of the most common infection Non-Gonococcal), Ureaplasma urealyticum (a possible causal in acute pyelonephritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, curiuamniutis, bacterial vaginosis, preterm birth, Non-Gonococcal urethritis, miscarriage, infertility and spontaneous abortion), Gardnerella vaginalis and Streptococcus agalactiae...
متن کاملGonococcal lipooligosaccharide suppresses HIV infection in human primary macrophages through induction of innate immunity.
Gonorrhea often occurs as a coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is a component of the gonococcal outer membrane that induces innate immunity through engagement of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). We investigated the effects that LOS from 5 different strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have on HIV infection and on HIV provirus in primary human macrophages. LOS...
