  Neisseria gonorrhea is an obligate human pathogen primarily transmitted through sexual contact. It infects humans exclusively and commonly causes urethritis in men and cervicitis in women. As an obligate pathogen, N. gonorrhea relies on manifesting disease to facilitate transmission between hosts. It cannot survive outside of a host and must infect a host. The infection process of N. gonorrhea begins with the adherence of gonococci to epithelial cells, followed by local invasion of these cells. Adhesion is facilitated by multiple surface proteins, including pili, hair-like appendages covering the bacterial surface. Pili allow the bacteria to attach to epithelial cells from a distance and promote cellular invasion. Additionally, pili provide motility and protection to the bacteria. Other surface proteins involved in cellular attachment include Opa (opacity-associated proteins) and LOS (lipooligosaccharide), which can attach to sperm cells and potentially contribute to transmissi...
