Abstract Development of a vaccine against gonorrhoea is a global priority, driven by the rise in antibiotic resistance. Although Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) infection does not induce substantial protective immunity, highly exposed individuals may deve

ABSTRACTNeisseria gonorrhoeae causes sexually transmitted infection (STI) gonorrhoea and is on the WHO critical list due to increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The bacterium can carry a conjugative plasmid, pConj, which prevents the use of tet

Plasmids are diverse extrachromosomal elements significantly that contribute to interspecies dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. However, within clinically important bacteria, plasmids can exhibit unexpected narrow host ranges, a p

The bacterium Neisseria meningitidis causes life-threatening meningitis and sepsis. Here, Muir et al. construct a complete collection of defined mutants in protein-coding genes of this organism, which they use to identify its essential genome and to

Natural transformation is the widespread biological process by which "competent" bacteria take up free DNA, incorporate it into their genomes, and become genetically altered or "transformed". To curb often deleterious transformation by foreign DNA, s

Neisseria gonorrhoeae , the gonococcus, is a pathogen of major public health concern, but sophisticated approaches to gene manipulation are limited for this species. For example, there are few methods for generating markerless mutations, which allow

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (the gonococcus) is the causative agent of the sexually-transmitted infection gonorrhoea, and has developed resistance to all classes of antimicrobials. In gonococci, plasmids can mediate high-level antimicrobial resistance (AMR

Background Gonorrhea, caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, is a globally prevalent sexually transmitted infection. The dynamics of gonococcal population biology have been poorly defined due to a lack of resolution in strain typing methods.
One of the great challenges in biology is to determine the function of millions of genes of unknown function. Even in model bacterial species, there is a sizeable proportion of such genes, which has fundamental and practical consequences. Here, we co

Plasmids are vehicles for horizontal gene transfer between bacteria, and in Neisseria gonorrhoeae plasmids can mediate high-level antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Using genomic and phylogenetic analyses, we show that plasmids are widespread in a colle
