  2. Neisseria gonorrhoeae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neisseria_gonorrhoeae

    Neisseria gonorrhoeae, also known as gonococcus (singular) or gonococci (plural), is a species of Gram-negative diplococci bacteria first isolated by Albert Neisser in 1879. [3] An obligate human pathogen, it primarily colonizes the mucosal lining of the urogenital tract; however, it is also capable of adhering to the mucosa of the nose, [ 4 ...

  3. Gonorrhea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonorrhea

    If Gram-negative, oxidase-positive diplococci are visualized on direct Gram stain of urethral pus (male genital infection), no further testing is needed to establish the diagnosis of gonorrhea infection. [40] [41] However, direct Gram stain of cervical swabs is not useful because the N. gonorrhoeae organisms are less concentrated in these samples.

  4. IgA specific serine endopeptidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IgA_specific_serine_endo...

    This enzyme is secreted by Gram-negative bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae. The action of IgA protease allows the above mentioned bacteria to adhere to mucous membranes.

  5. Neisseria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neisseria

    The International Pathogenic Neisseria Conference (IPNC), occurring every two years, is a forum for the presentation of cutting-edge research on all aspects of the genus Neisseria. This includes immunology, vaccinology, and physiology and metabolism of N. meningitidis, N. gonorrhoeae and the commensal species. The first IPNC took place in 1978 ...

  6. Neisseriaceae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neisseriaceae

    The Neisseriaceae are a family [2] of Pseudomonadota, within the Neisseriales order of Betaproteobacteria.While many organisms in the family are mammalian commensals or part of the normal flora, the genus Neisseria includes two important human pathogens, specifically those responsible for gonorrhea (caused by N. gonorrhoeae) and many cases of meningitis ("meningococcal meningitis", caused by N ...

  7. New York City agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Agar

    Proteose peptone, horse plasma, haemoglobin provide nutrients for the growth of N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis. Phosphate buffers the medium. The selective supplement added contains the antibiotics vancomycin, colistin, nystatin and trimethoprim, to suppress the accompanying flora. Vancomycin is inhibitory for gram-positive bacteria.

    Gram stain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae showing characteristic diplococci morphology. Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea, has developed antibiotic resistance to many antibiotics. The bacteria was first identified in 1879. [1]
