Metabolic role of the LutACB operon in <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> resistance to neutrophil-mediated clearance

2025-07-10

Abstract excerpt

Neisseria gonorrhoeae, an obligate human pathogen, causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea and primarily colonizes the human genitourinary tract. An infection triggers a strong neutrophil-driven inflammatory response; however, viable gonococci are frequently recovered from neutrophil-rich patient exudates, indicating that these pathogens can survive neutrophil-mediated killing in vivo . To identify bac...
