摘要

The ability of 107 Neisseria isolates to compete for iron with human lactoferrin (LF) was examined. Each of 15 meningococci, 53% of 59 selected gonococci, and 24% of 33 commensal Neisseria could use LF-bound iron for growth. Isolates which could not obtain iron from LF were growth inhibited when sufficient LF was added to defined agar medium to bind available free iron. No difference was observed in the ability of colony type 1 and colony type 4 gonococci of the same strain to compete with LF for iron. LF was growth inhibitory for 50% of 22 disseminated disease isolates (DGI strains) and 51% of 35 local urogenital disease isolates (UGI strains). Only 14% of gonococcal isolates requiring arginine, hypoxanthine, and uracil for growth were able to compete with LF for iron, whereas 87% of all other gonococcal isolates could do so (P less than 0.005). Ability to obtain iron from LF does not appear to be required for survival of Neisseria on mucosal surfaces, nor essential for invasion of the bloodstream by gonococci. However, ability to utilize LF as a source of iron may contribute to differences in pathogenicity among certain gonococcal isolates.
