What are the best-demonstrated molecular mechanisms by which Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonizes human mucosa, adheres to the epithelium, crosses or modifies barriers, evades complement and neutrophils, and maintains an infection without generating lasting protective immunity?
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The molecular mechanisms by which Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonizes, adheres to, and evades the immune system are partly understood but largely based on limited or indirect evidence. Further research is needed to fully elucidate these processes and develop effective treatments.
