2. 1. Pathogenic Neisseria : Single cell motility, multicellular dynamics and antimicrobial susceptibility

   Author : Olaspers Sara Eriksson; Ann-Beth Jonsson; Matthew Francis; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neisseria; Type IV pili; Twitching motility; PilT; Microcolony dynamics; PilU; NafA; Antimicrobial peptide; Cell-penetrating peptide; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : 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). READ MORE

4. 2. Pathogenic Neisseria infections of human neutrophils and epithelial cells : focusing on host responses and immune evasion

   Author : Niklas Söderholm; Helena Aro; Thomas Rudel; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neisseria meningitidis; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; Neutrophils; PMN; Epithelial cells; Polarized cells; Type IV pili; Adherence; Cell cycle; DNA damage; Lactobacillus; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

5. 3. Host epithelium integrity in the female reproductive tract during Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection

   Author : Linda Weyler; Helena Aro; Lene Rasmussen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Female reproductive tract; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; VK2 E6E7 cells; DNA damage; cell cycle; mitosis; restriction endonucleases; infection models; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are asymptomatic in approximately fifty percent of the affected women. Left untreated, this can develop into a long-term inflammatory state with detrimental secondary complications such as ectopic pregnancy and sterility. Furthermore, studies have shown that N.

6. 4. Virulence Factors and Motility Mechanisms of Pathogenic Neisseria

   Author : Jens Eriksson; Ann-Beth Jonsson; Helena Aro; Tone Tønjum; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neisseria; Virulence factors; Type IV pili; PilT; PilU; NafA; NhhA; Twitching motility; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

7. 5. Implementation of strategies for management and prevention of sexually transmitted infections with focus on Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis

   Author : Ronza Hadad; Magnus Unemo; Hans Fredlund; Susanne Jacobsson; Kate Seib; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; epidemiology; whole-genome sequencing; antimicrobial resistance AMR ; Chlamydia trachomatis; vaccine; strategies; management and prevention;

   Abstract : Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a public health issue of great importance worldwide, with effects on fertility and reproduction. Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, causative agents of chlamydia and gonorrhoea, respectively, are the most common bacterial STIs with an estimated 127 million new global cases of chlamydia and 87 million new gonorrhoea cases.
