Mutations in Neisseria gonorrhoeae grown in sub-lethal concentrations of monocaprin do not confer resistance.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2018

Churchward Colin P, Calder Alan, Snyder Lori A S

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae, due to its short lipooligosaccharide structure, is generally more sensitive to the antimicrobial effects of some fatty acids than most other Gram negative bacteria. This supports recent development of a fatty acid-based potential treatment for gonococcal infections, particularly ophthalmia neonatorum. The N. gonorrhoeae genome contains genes for fatty acid resistance. In this study, the...
