Gonococcal subcutaneous abscess and pyomyositis: a case report [PDF]
, 2012 Disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is an uncommon complication of Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, its manifestation varies from a classic arthritis-dermatitis syndrome to uncommon pyogenic infections of several organs.

Resistance of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae to Neutrophils [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Infection with the human-specific bacterial pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae triggers a potent, local inflammatory response driven by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils or PMNs). PMNs are terminally differentiated phagocytic cells that are a vital component of the host innate immune response and are the first responders to bacterial and fungal ...

Development of a SimpleProbe real-Time PCR Assay for rapid detection and identification of the US novel urethrotropic clade of Neisseria meningitidis ST-11 (US_NmUC) [PDF]
, 2020 Urethritis, or inflammation of the urethra, is one of the most common reasons men seek clinical care. Sexually transmitted pathogens including Neisseria gonorrhoeae are responsible for over half of the symptomatic urethritis cases in U.S. men.

Exfoliating Neisseria gonorrhoeae [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2020 This study finds that Neisseria gonorrhoeae suppresses epithelial exfoliation by nitric oxide-mediated initiation of a host signalling pathway to promote colonization in mice.

A paperfluidic platform to detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae in clinical samples [PDF]
, 2018 Globally, the microbe Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) causes 106 million newly documented sexually transmitted infections each year. Once appropriately diagnosed, NG infections can be readily treated with antibiotics, but high-risk patients often do not ...

Clinical Validation of Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification Assays for the Rapid Detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolNeisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis are major causes of sexually transmitted infections globally. We developed LAMP assays achieving 96% sensitivity for gonorrhoea and 95% for chlamydia (with extraction), and ≥ 98% specificity. These assays offer a promising diagnostic tool, particularly in high‐burden, resource‐limited settings.
