		Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are acquired by sexual contact and usually affect the mucous membranes of the urethra in males and the endocervix and urethra in females, although the infection may disseminate to a variety of tissues.
		The bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, the meningococcus, is identical in its staining and morphological characteristics to Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
		Neisseria meningitidis is usually cultivated in a peptone-blood base medium in a moist chamber containing 5-10% CO All media must be warmed to 37 degrees prior to inoculation as the organism is extremely susceptible to temperatures above or below 37 degrees.

		Because over 15% of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae genome contains dispursed repeated sequences, assembly by Phred/Phrap under high stringency requires that the unique sequences on either side of each repeat be determined independently by primer walking off large (4-8Kb) insert sub-clones and by binning the contigs based on known markers.

	Detection of neisseria gonorrhoeae - Patent 4332890
		Lysates of the suspect organism are tested by reverse passive hemagglutination with particles sensitized with antibodies to eleven N. gonorrhoeae strains, ATCC 31397, 31398, 31399, 31400, 31401, 31402, 31403, 31404, 31405, 31406, and 31407.
		An alternative commercial screening procedure involves the use of fluorescent antibodies and, while the procedure is relatively rapid and specific for all N. gonorrhoeae strains, the use of a rather expensive fluorescence microscope by a highly skilled technician is required for the determination.
		Organisms suspected to be N. gonorrhoeae are removed from their growth medium and a suspension of organisms is prepared in water to a standard turbidity (as measured by optical density) and subsequently treated to develop a lysate test material.

	What is Neisseria gonorrhoeae?
		The prevalence of gonorrhea (Neisseria gonorrheae) in the United States and abroad, especially under-developed and developing countries, has decreased in the last two decades.
		In 1963, the first quinolone antibiotic, nalidixic acid, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of urinary tract infections; however, it had several limitations, such as it had a narrow spectrum of activity, and bacteria quickly developed resistance to it (CTR, 1997).
		gonorrhoeae strains, the CDC has instituted the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project (GISP), which is a cooperative group of twenty-six sexually transmitted disease clinics across the United States that collect gonorrhea specimens and send them to regional offices for resistance diagnosis (CDC Update, 2000).

	American Family Physician: Increases in fluoroquinolone-resistant neisseria gonorrhoeae
		Fluoroquinolones are used frequently to treat gonorrhea in the United States because they are inexpensive and easy to administer and their continued use might decrease the use of cephalosporins and delay the development of cephalosporin resistance.
		However, local and national data suggest that the prevalence of fluoroquinolone-resistant N. gonorrhoeae (QRNG) among men who have sex with men infected with gonorrhea is close to or exceeds 5 percent.
		While this level of resistance often is used as the level at which a therapeutic regimen should be changed, other factors, including prevalence of gonorrhea, availability of antimicrobial susceptibility data, and cost of various diagnostic and treatment options, might result in higher or lower thresholds for change.
