1. Pathogenic Neisseria : Single cell motility, multicellular dynamics and antimicrobial susceptibility
Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae can colonize humans without causing any symptoms. However, gonorrhea and invasive meningococcal disease are serious health concerns. An essential virulence factor for neisserial adhesion to host cells, twitching motility and microcolony formation/aggregation is the retractile type IV pili (Tfp). LÄS MER
2. Sulphonamide Resistance in Neisseria meningitidis and Commensal Neisseria Species
Sammanfattning : Extensive use of the sulphonamide drugs against the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis has resulted in drug resistance development. Sulphonamide resistance in N. meningitidis is caused by alterations in the chromosomal folP gene, coding for DHPS (dihydropteroate synthase). LÄS MER
3. Virulence Factors and Motility Mechanisms of Pathogenic Neisseria
Sammanfattning : Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis are two closely related human specific pathogens. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the causative agent for the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea and often causes asymptomatic infections in women which is a cause of infertility. LÄS MER
4. Pathogenic Neisseria infections of human neutrophils and epithelial cells : focusing on host responses and immune evasion
Sammanfattning : N. meningitidis and N. gonorrhoeae are obligate human pathogens that colonize mucosal surfaces and are often carried asymptomatically. These bacteria have developed adhesive structures that promote adherence to host cells and efficient colonization of new hosts. LÄS MER
5. Antibiotic susceptibility and resistance in Neisseria meningitidis : phenotypic and genotypic characteristics
Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis, also known as the meningococcus, is a globally spread obligate human bacterium causing meningitis and/or septicaemia. It is responsible for epidemics in both developed and developing countries. LÄS MER
