Adenylate cyclase activity of cultural strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Staphylococcus aureus.
Adenylate cyclase of gonococci and staphylococci from patients with gonorrhoeae and pyoderma was studied ultracytochemically. Adenylate cyclase activity was mainly revealed on the inner side of the plasma membrane and septa of dividing cells. The enzymic activity is markedly higher in penicillinase producing strains and dividing bacteria. These data may be useful for the diagnostics and treatments of the infections concerned.
