recA and catalase in H2O2-mediated toxicity in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 1990

Hassett D J, Charniga L, Cohen M S

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae cells defective in the biosynthesis of the recA gene product are no more sensitive to hydrogen peroxide than wild-type cells. Although gonococci possess nearly 100-fold-greater catalase levels than Escherichia coli, they are more susceptible to hydrogen peroxide than this organism. The natural niche of gonococci undoubtedly results in exposure to oxidant stress; however, they do not...
