Abstract
Strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated from disseminated gonococcal infections have enhanced ability to acquire Fe in an experimental host [chick embryos] when compared with urogenital gonococcal isolates from patients with uncomplicated infections.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
