LL‐37: Biological Mechanisms and Emerging Therapeutic Applications in Intestinal Disease

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Human cathelicidin peptide LL‐37 is encoded by the CAMP gene and plays a key role in innate immunity. It maintains intestinal homeostasis through antibacterial, immunomodulation, and tissue repair functions. This paper reviews the multiple functions of LL‐37 in the intestinal‐immune axis and its contribution to intestinal immune homeostasis. A

Organism resembling Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1987
A problem isolate resembling Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis is reported. Growth and biochemical characteristics indicated the organism to be N. meningitidis, whereas serological characteristics indicated it to be N. gonorrhoeae. This vaginal isolate may be a genetically transformed gonococcus with the ability to utilize maltose ...

Twitching Motility of Bacteria with Type IV Pili: Fractal Walks, First passage time and their Consequences on Microcolonies

, 2017
A human pathogen, \textit{Neisseria gonorrhoeae} (NG), moves on surfaces by attaching and retracting polymeric structures called Type IV pili. The \textit{tug-of-war} between the pili results in a two-dimensional stochastic motion called \textit ...

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]

, 2013
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

The Curious Case of CysE: Diversity and Distribution of Serine Acetyltransferases in Bacteria

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 1092-1103, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Serine acetyltransferase (CysE) is a member of the left‐handed β‐helix family of acetyltransferases that catalyze the rate limiting step in de novo cysteine biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of CysE that differ in length, with the shorter isoform lacking approximately 76 amino acids at the N‐terminus of the protein from the serine ...
