Neisseria gonorrhoeae uses two lytic transglycosylases to produce cytotoxic peptidoglycan monomers.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 2008

Cloud-Hansen Karen A, Hackett Kathleen T, Garcia Daniel L, Dillard Joseph P

Abstract excerpt

Peptidoglycan fragments released by Neisseria gonorrhoeae contribute to the inflammation and ciliated cell death associated with gonorrhea and pelvic inflammatory disease. However, little is known about the production and release of these fragments during bacterial growth. Previous studies demons...
