NEISSERIAE GONORRHOEAE | ANTIGENIC STRUCTURE
- they enhance adhesion to host cells & resistance to phagocytosis
- important to establish a disease
PILI (FIMBRIAE)
NEISSERIAE GONORRHOEAE | ANTIGENIC STRUCTURE
- it forms pores in the surface
- Prevent fusion of phagosome with lysosome
POR PROTEIN
NEISSERIAE GONORRHOEAE | ANTIGENIC STRUCTURE
adhesion and migration of the bacteria
OPA (OPACITY) PROTEIN
NEISSERIAE GONORRHOEAE | ANTIGENIC STRUCTURE
- reduction modifiable protein
- It associates with Por protein
Rmp (protein III)
