Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are human-specific pathogens and possess a range of mechanisms to achieve successful colonization of their unique niches. The bacteria are closely ...

Some strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacteria that causes the sexually transmitted infection (STI) gonorrhea, have evolved to be resistant to most modern drugs. However, we may now have a ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland figured out why some Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections become invasive, while others don’t. More invasive strains cause the epithelial layer of the endocervix ...

This funding will support the preclinical development of Debio 1453, a novel antibiotic specifically designed to combat Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections.

The results of a study of the antibodies that react with Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the urethral exudates of 232 men who attended a clinic of the Department of Sexually Transmitted Diseases at Glasgow, ...

Analysis of the surface constituents of a pyocin 611 131-resistant variant of strain no. JW-31 of Neisseria gonorrhoeae revealed substantial differences in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) but no changes ...

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a globally significant pathogen responsible for gonorrhoea, a sexually transmitted infection that has become increasingly challenging to manage due to the emergence of ...

Hank Seifert and Mark Anderson at Northwestern University in Chicago analysed the genome sequences of 14 samples of Neisseria gonorrhoeae – the bacteria that causes the sexually transmitted disease.

They were infected with a strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria that’s even harder to treat, which is kind of like getting kicked in the groin and then falling forwards groin-first onto a ...

Fire Down Below This image shows several dozen Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria – the cause of a painful and life-threatening disease called gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease, but ...

Neisseria meningitidis, a bacteria usually associated with meningitis and sepsis, has been the cause of recent cluster of sexually-transmitted infections in the USA. New research analyzing the genomes ...

“We are pleased to provide continued support for the preclinical development of Debio 1453,” said Erin Duffy, PhD, R&D Chief of CARB-X. “Neisseria gonorrhoeae has become resistant to every ...
