|
|
affects more females than males
female carriers are estimated to be over 30% |
neisseria gonorrhoeae
|
|
urethritis, cervicitis, proctitis, pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, epidymitis, PID, arthritis
|
neisseria gonorrhoeae
|
|
pathogenesis: sexual contact with infected mucosal tissues and specific attachment due to pilli
|
neisseria gonorrhoeae
|
|
spread is due to invasion of membranes- nonciliated columnar epithelium and creates acute suppuration- may go to the uterine tubes or epididymis; in severe infections, may spread to the stream and invade joints
|
neisseria gonorrhoeae
|
|
no protective immunity- repeated exposure will lead to re-infection
|
neisseria gonorrhoeae
|
|
pili
lipooligosaccharide that causes inflammation andtissue damage outer membrane proteins- strain variation IgA1 protease |
neisseria gonorrhoeae
|
|
what are the outer membrane proteins in neisseria gonorrhoeae?
|
1- porin
2- opacity that renders the colonies colorless 3- reduction- modifiable proteins stimulate Ab to ind IgG and interfere with intracellular killing |
|
collect specimen from cervix or male urethra and do a gram stain
-in males, gram stain with polys and gram neg diplococci are positive in females, need culture |
neisseria gonorrhoeae
|
|
neisseria that metabolizes glucose
|
neisseria gonorrhoeae
|
|
neisseria that metabolizes glucose and maltose
|
neisseria meningitidis
|
|
grows on nutrient agar
|

|
|
twar strain
|

|
|
ulcer on genitalia is initial symptom
|
chlamydia trachomatis
|
|
suppurative inguinal adenitis, lymphatic obstruction and rectal strictures
|
chlamydia trachomatis
|
|
urethritis in males

|
|
steadily increasing incidence with twice as many men as women
|
chlamydia trachomatis
|
|
blinding chlamydia spread by
|
person to person or fomites
|
|
infect cells by attaching to them and becoming phagocytosed and then avoiding lysosomal fusion
|
chlamydia trachomatis
|
|
non-replicating elementary bodies metabolically activate to reticulate bodies and develop into elementary bodies
then they lyse and leave the host cell to start a new infection |
