Production of a capsule of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Abstract
Neisseria gonorrhoeae can be induced to form a large capsule that can be visualized with India ink. Encapsulated gonococci appeared to be resistant to non-antibody-mediated phagocytosis compared with unencapsulated gonococci of the same strain and colony type.
