Bacteriocin Production by Neisseria gonorrhoeae
AUTOR(ES)
Lawton, William D.
RESUMO
Seventeen apparently unrelated isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae out of 2,123 tested produced a diffusible growth-inhibitory substance against other gonococci. The inhibitor was destroyed by trypsin, not blocked by bovine serum albumin, and not soluble in chloroform-methanol; each isolate was resistant to the inhibitor it produced. Thus, the substance differs from previously described gonococcal inhibitors, and since it fits the description of a bacteriocin we designated it gonocin. The use of gonocin for typing was complicated by the observation that susceptibility to gonocin appears to depend on the gonococcal colony type.
