Wat (wie) is Neisseria gonorrhoeae - definitie

SPECIES OF BACTERIUM
Neisseria gonorrheae; Gonococcus; N. gonorrhoeae; Gonococcal; Gonococci; N. gonorrhoea; N.gonorrhoeae; Gonococcal conjunctivitis; N gonorrhoeae; Gonoccaemia; Neisseria gonorrhpeae; Neisseria gonorrhea; GNID; Gram-negative intracellular diplococci; Gonococcal infection of lower genitourinary tract; Gonococcal infection of musculoskeletal system; Gonococcal infection of eye; Neisseria gonorrhœae; Gonoccocal
  • Carbohydrate utilization of ''Neisseria gonorrhoeae'': ''N. gonorrhoeae'' will oxidise glucose, not maltose, sucrose, or lactose; ''N. meningitidis'' ferments glucose and maltose.
  • Thayer–Martin agar is selective for growth of ''Neisseria'' species. Further testing (oxidase, Gram stain, carbohydrate use) is needed to differentiate ''N. gonorrhoeae'' from ''N. meningitidis.''
  • The growth of ''N. gonorrhoeae'' colonies on New York City agar, a specialized and selective medium for gonococci
  • A Gram stain of a urethral exudate showing typical intracellular Gram-negative diplococci, which is diagnostic for gonococcal urethritis

Gonococcus         
·noun A vegetable microorganism of the genus Micrococcus, occurring in the secretion in gonorrhea. It is believed by some to constitute the cause of this disease.
gonococcus         
[?g?n?'k?k?s]
¦ noun (plural gonococci -k(s)??, -k(s)i:) a bacterium which causes gonorrhoea. [Neisseria gonorrhoeae.]
Derivatives
gonococcal adjective
Neisseria cinerea         
Neisseria cinerea is a commensal species grouped with the Gram-negative, oxidase-positive, and catalase-positive diplococci. It was first classified as Micrococcus cinereus by Alexander von Lingelsheim in 1906.

Wikipedia

Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Neisseria gonorrhoeae, also known as gonococcus (singular), or gonococci (plural), is a species of Gram-negative diplococci bacteria isolated by Albert Neisser in 1879. It causes the sexually transmitted genitourinary infection gonorrhea as well as other forms of gonococcal disease including disseminated gonococcemia, septic arthritis, and gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum.

It is oxidase positive and aerobic, and it survives phagocytosis and grows inside neutrophils. Culturing it requires carbon dioxide supplementation and enriched agar (chocolate agar) with various antibiotics (Thayer–Martin). It exhibits antigenic variation through genetic recombination of its pili and surface proteins that interact with the immune system.

Sexual transmission is through vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Sexual transmission may be prevented through the use of barrier protection. Perinatal transmission may occur during childbirth, and may be prevented by antibiotic treatment of the mother before birth and the application of antibiotic eye gel on the eyes of the newborn. After an episode of gonococcal infection, infected persons do not develop immunity to future infections. Reinfection is possible due to N. gonorrhoeae's ability to evade the immune system by varying its surface proteins.

N. gonorrhoeae can cause infection of the genitals, throat, and eyes. Asymptomatic infection is common in males and females. Untreated infection may spread to the rest of the body (disseminated gonorrhea infection), especially the joints (septic arthritis). Untreated infection in women may cause pelvic inflammatory disease and possible infertility due to the resulting scarring. Diagnosis is through culture, Gram stain, or nucleic acid tests, such as polymerase chain reaction, of a urine sample, urethral swab, or cervical swab. Chlamydia co-testing and testing for other STIs is recommended due to high rates of co-infection.

Antibiotic resistance in N. gonorrhoeae is a growing public health concern, especially given its propensity to develop resistance easily.
