Genital gonorrhoea in women: a serovar correlation with concomitant rectal infection

The Journal of Infection
D V Coghill, H Young

Abstract

Strains of gonococci isolated from 383 episodes of infection in women were classified serologically by means of two independently developed panels (Pharmacia (Ph) and Genetic Systems (GS] of monoclonal coagglutination reagents. Strains isolated from two groups of patients-those with concomitant genital and rectal infection (Group R) and those with genital infection in the absence of rectal infection (Group G)-were compared in order to determine whether certain strains of gonococci are isolated more often from women with concomitant rectal infection. Group R patients accounted for 126 (33%) episodes and Group G patients accounted for 223 (58%) episodes. Strains belonging to serogroup WII/III accounted for 61 (48%) Group R infections and 86 (39%) Group G infections. The difference was not statistically significant (0.1 greater than P greater than 0.05). Strains of serogroup WI could be resolved into 7 Ph- and 10 GS-serovars while strains of serogroup WII/III could be resolved into 19 Ph- and 14 GS-serovars. One GS-serovar, Bajk, was isolated from 34 (27%) Group R patients compared with 39 (17%) Group G patients. This difference was statistically significant (P = 0.05). Compared with non-Bajk isolates, Bajk strongly correlated wit...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
