Effect of Oral Antimicrobial Peptide R7I Against Epidemic Enteropathogenic Neisseria in Geese (Anser cygnoides orientalis) [PDF]
AnimalsThe emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has resulted in a lack of available drugs that can be used to treat various diseases. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are green and safe antibiotic alternatives.

Genome Sequencing Reveals Widespread Virulence Gene Exchange among Human Neisseria Species [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Commensal bacteria comprise a large part of the microbial world, playing important roles in human development, health and disease. However, little is known about the genomic content of commensals or how related they are to their pathogenic counterparts ...

A novel commensal Neisseria species harboring the gonococcal diagnostic marker DR-9 causes false-positive Roche cobas NAAT results [PDF]
Journal of Clinical MicrobiologyNeisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng), the etiologic agent of gonorrhea, is the second most reported bacterial sexually transmitted infection globally. In the USA, nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are considered the gold standard for diagnosis.

Prediction of Prophages and Their Host Ranges in Pathogenic and Commensal Neisseria Species
mSystems, 2022 The genus Neisseria includes two pathogenic species, N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis, and numerous commensal species. Neisseria species frequently exchange DNA with one another, primarily via transformation and homologous recombination and via ...
