  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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neisseria

    Neisseria is a large genus of bacteria that colonize the mucosal surfaces of many animals. Of the 11 species that colonize humans, only two are pathogens , N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae . Neisseria species are Gram-negative bacteria included among the Pseudomonadota , a large group of Gram-negative forms.

    [67] [68] In 2016, the WHO published new guidelines for treatment, stating "There is an urgent need to update treatment recommendations for gonococcal infections to respond to changing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of N. gonorrhoeae. High-level resistance to previously recommended quinolones is widespread and decreased susceptibility ...

  5. Gonococcemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonococcemia

    Gonococcemia (also known as "Disseminated gonococcal infection" [1]) is a rare complication of mucosal Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, or Gonorrhea, that occurs when the bacteria invade the bloodstream. [2] It is characterized by fever, tender hemorrhagic pustules on the extremities or the trunk, migratory polyarthritis, and tenosynovitis. [3]

  6. Thayer–Martin agar - Wikipedia

    Comparison of two culture media types used to grow Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria. Known as overgrowth, note that the non-selective chocolate agar medium on the left, due to its composition, allowed for the growth of organismal colonies other than those of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, while the selective Thayer–Martin medium on the right, containing antimicrobials that inhibit the growth of ...

    Albert Ludwig Sigesmund Neisser (22 January 1855, Schweidnitz – 30 July 1916, Breslau) was a German physician who discovered the causative agent of gonorrhea, a strain of bacteria that was named in his honour (Neisseria gonorrhoeae).

    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]

  9. New York City agar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Agar

    The yeast autolysate supplement fulfils the CO 2 requirements needed to enhance Neisseria growth. Yeast contains oxaloacetic acid which is metabolized by gonococci to produce sufficient CO 2 for growth of capnophilic gonococci. [9] Also, presence of yeast autolysate reduces the lag phase of growth of Neisseria, thus enhancing both size and ...
