Abstract
Over the past decade, studies of Neisseria gonorrhoeae have shown that in media containing glucose, lactate stimulates metabolism, and this could affect pathogenicity ([7][1], [19][2]). Recently, the probable mechanism of this stimulation has been identified as one that could apply to other
