Neisseria gonorrhoeae false-positive result obtained from a pharyngeal swab by using the roche cobas 4800 CT/NG assay in New Zealand in 2012 [PDF]
The Roche cobas 4800 CT/NG assay is a commonly used commercial system for screening for Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, and previous studies have shown the method to be highly sensitive and specific for urogenital samples. We present the first confirmed

Drug Design and Delivery for Intracellular Bacteria: Emerging Paradigms
ABSTRACT Intracellular bacteria exploit host cell niches, such as lysosomes, phagosomes, cytosol, entire cells, and even erythrocytes, to evade immune clearance and escape conventional antibiotics. These environments pose numerous therapeutic challenges, including crossing host cell membranes, navigating endosomal trafficking, tolerating acidic and ...

[Accepted Manuscript] In vitro susceptibility to closthioamide among clinical and reference strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. [PDF]
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is one of the leading antimicrobial resistance threats worldwide. This study determined the minimum inhibitory concentrations of closthioamide to be 0.008-0.5 mg/L for clinical N. gonorrhoeae strains and related species.

Incidence and antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from patients attending the national Neisseria gonorrhoeae reference laboratory of Hungary. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The Hungarian national guidelines for the treatment of gonorrhoea were published in 2002 but are now widely considered to be outdated. Improved knowledge is needed with respect to the epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria

NsrR from Streptomyces coelicolor is a nitric oxide-sensing [4Fe-4S] cluster protein with a specialized regulatory function [PDF]
The Rrf2 family transcription factor NsrR controls expression of genes in a wide range of bacteria in response to nitric oxide (NO). The precise form of the NO-sensing module of NsrR is the subject of controversy because NsrR proteins containing either ...
