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.

The comparative population genetics ofNeisseria meningitidisandNeisseria gonorrhoeae [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Neisseria meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeaeare closely related pathogenic bacteria. To compare their population genetics, we compiled a dataset of 1,145 genes found across 20N. meningitidisand 15N. gonorrhoeaegenomes. We find thatN. meningitidisis seven-times more diverse thanN. gonorrhoeaein their combined core genome.

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.

Lipopolysaccharide banding patterns of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1984
The lipopolysaccharides of Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae were examined by electrophoresis after whole-cell lysis and proteinase K digestion. The banding patterns observed from clinical isolates and laboratory strains demonstrated lipopolysaccharide which included a small number of smooth high-molecular-weight molecules as well as the

First antimicrobial resistance data and genetic characteristics of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from Estonia, 2009–2013

New Microbes and New Infections, 2014
Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection with major public health implications and Neisseria gonorrhoeae has developed resistance to all antimicrobials introduced for treatment. Enhanced surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in N. gonorrhoeae is

Neisseria genes required for persistence identified via in vivo screening of a transposon mutant library.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
The mechanisms used by human adapted commensal Neisseria to shape and maintain a niche in their host are poorly defined. These organisms are common members of the mucosal microbiota and share many putative host interaction factors with Neisseria ...

Interaction of complement with Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1989
The importance of the complement system in host defense against systemic infection caused by neisseriae is emphasized by a number of clinical observations documenting the importance of antibody-dependent, complement-mediated serum bactericidal activity in protection from systemic meningococcal disease (17) and the well-recognized association between ...

Autoplaquing in Neisseria gonorrhoeae [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1985
Irregularly shaped autoplaques were observed on a lawn of two different strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Autoplaquing occurred on gonococcal genetic medium lacking arginine and was noninducible on complete gonococcal genetic medium. The cell density, incubation temperature, and agar base influenced autoplaquing.

Characterization of two putative Dichelobacter nodosus footrot vaccine antigens identifies the first lysozyme inhibitor in the genus

Scientific Reports, 2019
The Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium Dichelobacter nodosus (Dn) causes footrot in ruminants, a debilitating and highly contagious disease that results in necrotic hooves and significant economic losses in agriculture.
