摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter explores that gonorrhoea is one of the most commonly reported communicable diseases. With appearance antibiotic-resistant strains Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae), which are thought to be result an intergeneric conjugal transfer, possible loss efficacy drug treatment in control this disease has been forewarned. The development a vaccine follows basic understanding human immunity gonococcal infection because no virulence factor against person could easily immunized. multifactorial nature and mechanisms pathogenesis examined by biology gonococcus. provides summary important aspects physiology relate directly or indirectly process. Certain metabolism may as yet unrelated pathogenesis, but they provide base from future research can planned. It discusses differences similarities between N. other pathogenic non-pathogenic spp., where information available pertinent. Knowledge related species help delineate subject areas require additional effort.
