چکیده
During the first 3 months of 1975, a striking increase has been noted in the incidence of Neisseria meningitidis in cultures from the genito-urinary tract and anal canal of both males and females being screened for gonorrhea. The data for recovery of these organisms from these sites are presented and reviewed.

Isolation of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria catarrhalis from the genitourinary tract and anal canal.
During a 12-month period 285 isolates of Neisseria species, other than Neisseria gonorrhoeae, were cultured from patients attending the Department of Venereology, Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. There were eight patients in whom genitourinary or rectal isolates of Neisseria meningitidis or Neisseria catarrhalis were found. Differences between data from our series and from previous reports are discu...

متن کاملRosamicin: in vitro activity comparison with erythromycin and other antibiotics against clinical isolates from the genito-urinary tract and Neisseria meningitidis.
Rosamicin in vitro activity was compared with that of erythromycin and other antimicrobics against clinical urinary tract isolates, genital pathogens and Neisseria meningitidis. Although the susceptibility or resistance to the two macrolides almost perfectly paralleled each other, the activity of rosamicin was greater than that of erythromycin against most species tested, including the Enteroba...

Neisseria meningitidis is a facultative pathogen bacterium which is well founded with a number of adhesion molecules to facilitate its colonization in human nasopharynx track. Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of mortality from sever meningococcal disease and septicemia. The Neisseria meningitidis adhesion, NadA, is a trimeric autotransporter adhesion molecule which is involved in cell ad...
