A Novel Method to Assess Antimicrobial Susceptibility in Commensal Oropharyngeal Neisseria—A Pilot Study

Antibiotics, 2022
Commensal Neisseria provide a reservoir of resistance genes that can be transferred to the pathogens Neisseria gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis in the human oropharynx. Surveillance programs are thus needed to monitor resistance in oropharyngeal commensal

Chicory (<i>Cichorium intybus</i>) Leaves Extract: Phenolic Composition, Antibacterial Activity, and Antioxidant Capacity Assessment. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Cichorium intybus, a plant with a long history of medicinal applications, was extracted using three solvents: hexane, ethanol, and ethyl acetate. The extracts were analyzed using chromatographic techniques, resulting in five distinct fractions: Fractions I and II were obtained from the ethyl acetate extract, whereas Fractions III, IV, and V were ...

Et tu, Neisseria? Conflicts of Interest Between Neisseria Species

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are two obligate human pathogens that have evolved to be uniquely adapted to their host. The meningococcus is frequently carried asymptomatically in the nasopharynx, while gonococcal infection of the ...

The Adhesin Complex Protein (ACP) of Neisseria meningitidis Is a New Adhesin with Vaccine Potential

mBio, 2013
The acp gene encoding the 13-kDa adhesin complex protein (ACP) from Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B strain MC58 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified recombinant ACP (rACP) was used for immunization studies.

Cocirculation of Hajj and non-Hajj strains among serogroup W meningococci in Italy, 2000 to 2016 [PDF]

, 2019
In Italy, B and C are the predominant serogroups among meningococci causing invasive diseases. Nevertheless, in the period from 2013 to 2016, an increase in serogroup W Neisseria meningitidis (MenW) was observed.

Successful Intra- but Not Inter-species Recombination of msr(D) in Neisseria subflava

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Resistance acquisition via natural transformation is a common process in the Neisseria genus. Transformation has played an important role in the emergence of resistance to many antimicrobials in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis.
