[The anticomplement activity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae].
Bacteria of the species N. gonorrhoeae have anticomplementary activity whose absolute values exceed the level of this activity both in other representatives of the genus Neisseria and in microorganisms of other taxonomic groups found in the microbiocenosis of the reproductive tract. The specificity of the anticomplementary action of N. gonorrhoeae extracellular products with respect to individual components of the complement system, as well as their role in the formation of the state of seroresistance and in the determination of the effectiveness of the interaction of gonococci with neutrophilic phagocytes in the system of opsonic cooperation, have been characterized.
