Chemotactic activity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Sonicated whole cells of one of three tested goncoccal strains stimulated neutrophil migration in the agarose gel model. The activity was retained by the material pelleted by high-speed centrifugation of the sonicate. This supports the theory that certain strains possess a cytotaxin bound to the outer membrane.
