Role of Pili in the Virulence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Open accessAbstract
Gonococci of the colonial types that are associated with virulence, types 1 and 2, have pili that enable the bacteria both to attach in vitro to human epithelial cells and to resist phagocytosis by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. These piliated gonococci also agglutinate various mammalian and chicken erythrocytes. Gonococci of an avirulent colonial type, i.e., type 4, have no pili and neither attach to epithelial cells or erythrocytes nor resist phagocytosis. Like the type 4 bacteria, mechanically or enzymatically (trypsin) depiliated type 1 gonococci failed to attach to epithelial cells and erythrocytes and were susceptible to phagocytosis. Pili of types 1 and 2 gonococci were antigenically similar. Both type 1 gonococci and pili isolated from them induced in rabbits antibody that (i) precipitated gonococcal pili in immunodiffusion, (ii) reacted with piliated gonococci as tested by indirect immunofluorescent analysis, (iii) inhibited attachment of piliated gonococci to both human epithelial cells and erythrocytes, and (iv) opsonized piliated gonococci.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
