The Haemophilus ducreyi LspA1 Protein Inhibits Phagocytosis By Using a New Mechanism Involving Activation of C-Terminal Src Kinase

mBio, 2014
Haemophilus ducreyi causes chancroid, a sexually transmitted infection. A primary means by which this pathogen causes disease involves eluding phagocytosis; however, the molecular basis for this escape mechanism has been poorly understood.

Iron sources for Haemophilus ducreyi [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1991
The ability of various haem- and non-haem-iron-containing compounds to support the growth of iron-limited cultures of Haemophilus ducreyi was assessed in a plate bioassay. Only haemin or the haem-containing proteins, bovine haemoglobin, human haemoglobin and bovine catalase, but not equine cytochrome C111, were capable of serving as the sole exogenous ...

Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium at pharyngeal and anorectal sites in patients presenting to an STI outpatient ward

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 389-397, February 2025.
Abstract Background The incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is unbridled and on the rise. Extragenital STIs (anal and pharyngeal infections) are commonly asymptomatic, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment and consequently higher chances of onward transmission.

Biology of Haemophilus ducreyi

Microbiological Reviews, 1989
The etiological agent of the sexually transmitted genital ulcer disease chancroid was first described in 1889 by Auguste Ducrey following repeated autoinoculation of purulent ulcer material from a series of patients. The organism was isolated on artificial media a decade later but has remained difficult to isolate consistently, resulting in controversy

Update vulval dermatology – diagnostics and therapy

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 23, Issue 1, Page 65-86, January 2025.
Summary The vulva is a periorificial skin area and as such represents a transitional zone with unique functional and physiological characteristics. Knowledge of its anatomy is limited among both the general population and healthcare professionals, and unrealistic expectations of normal proportions are common.
