What common virulence factors are found in Neisseria?

HACTEHA [7]

The common virulence factors found in Neisseria are polysaccharide capsule, endotoxin, IgA1 protease, pili, and proteins.

Explanation:

Neisseria species are Gram negative diplococcic highly pathogenic bacteria which cause meningococcal and gonococcal diseases in humans.

Virulence factors of Neisseria meningitidis:

Polysaccharide capsule: Antigenic anti-phagocytic capsular polysaccharides form a capsule and surround the bacterium. About 13 serotypes are present based on which the bacteria is classified.

Endotoxin: Composed of lipooligosaccharides leading to hemorrhage, sepsis, and petechiae on skin

IgA1 protease: Enzyme that breaks and cleaves the antibody IgA

Pili: Attaches bacterium to respiratory tract cells. Acts antigenic against the body’s immune system.

Diseases: Meningococcal - Meningitis, meningococcemia

Transmission: Respiratory tract

Virulence factors of Neisseria gonorrhea :

Pili: Complex gene codes for hypervariable genomes and antigenic against antibodies

Protein porins of outer membrane: Two protein complexes – Por A and Por B – facilitates invasion of epithelial cells

Opaproteins – facilitates attachment and further invasion of epithelial cells.

Diseases : Gonococcal – epididymitis, prostitis etc in men and pelvic inflammatory disease in women

Transmission: Sexual transmission

1.) Explain the process of ejaculation.

Elanso [62]

1.) The process of ejaculation starts with : A testis will produce sperm cells. These sperm cells will travel through the vans deferens. The accessory glands (seminal vesicle and prostate gland) will produce a fluid that will be combined to the sperm cells that will be semen.
2.) The process of menstruation starts with: An ovary will produce an egg cell every month that will travel through the fallopian tube and will go to the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. Since the egg cell is not fertilized, it will not be remained to the lining. Instead, the endometrium that has many blood vessels will shed blood containing the egg cell and that is the menstrual blood.
