Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria. These bacteria are the cause of the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea. N. gonorrhoeae are Gram-negative,spherical bacteria that are often found stuck together in pairs (diplococci),as here. They infect the genital mucous membranes of both sexes,causing pain on urination and a discharge of pus from the vagina or penis. Some cases pass unnoticed,while in others complications may develop leading to sterility. Treatment is with antibiotics. Magnification unknown | |
