Differentiation of gonococcal and non-gonococcal neisseriae by the superoxol test.

Incidence of Non-Gonococcal Infection in Childbearing and Pregnant Women in Ardabil

Non-gonococcal infections causes are made up of Chlamydia trachomatis (one of the most common infection Non-Gonococcal), Ureaplasma urealyticum (a possible causal in acute pyelonephritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, curiuamniutis, bacterial vaginosis, preterm birth, Non-Gonococcal urethritis, miscarriage, infertility and spontaneous abortion), Gardnerella vaginalis and Streptococcus agalactiae...

A preliminary study of the prevalence of Gonococcal genital infection in 500 non – pregnant women referring to a private and public clinic in Kerman, Iran

  To prevent the Gonococcal opthalmia neonatorum in many countries including Iran application of 1℅ tetracycline ophthalmic ointment is a common practice. To evaluate the prevalence of Gonococcal genital infection and the ophthalmic prophylaxis regimen  we have tested specimens which were collected from the endocervix of 500 non – pregnant women attending a private and public gynecology clinic...

Gonococcal, but Not Meningococcal, Porin Pathogenic Neisseriae is Influenced by Factor H Binding and Function in Sialylated

Factor H binding and function in sialylated pathogenic neisseriae is influenced by gonococcal, but not meningococcal, porin.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis both express the lacto-N-neotetraose (LNT) lipooligosaccharide (LOS) molecule that can be sialylated. Although gonococcal LNT LOS sialylation enhances binding of the alternative pathway complement inhibitor factor H and renders otherwise serum-sensitive bacteria resistant to complement-dependent killing, the role of LOS sialylation in meningococc...

Identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae using the Neisstrip rapid enzyme detection test.

A rapid enzyme activity strip test (Neisstrip, Lab M Ltd, Bury) was compared retrospectively with Phadebact Monoclonal GC coagglutination (Pharmacia Diagnostics, Uppsala, Sweden), cystine trypticase agar sugar utilisation (CTA), and Gonochek II (J W Turner, Liverpool) enzyme methods for identification of 95 Neisseria spp and related species. These had been previously identified using standard m...
