    how it infect
    1. opa protein and pilus of gonococci can help in binding to mucosal epithelium.
    2. opa protein will attach to the CD66antigen of the mucosal cells.
    3. bacterial will enter into the mucosa cells 
    4.gonococci can transport across to the mucosal epithelium (transcytose)
    5. with the help of opa protein, the gonococci halp reside and survive inside the neutrophils
    6. under the process of transctose, gonococci can enter blood stream, and with the aid of the LOS, it helps the bacteria resistant to the serum ]]>     2019-04-05 08:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/farahzakuan/neisseriaG/wish/348833654     signs and symptoms tlcwen https://padlet.com/farahzakuan/neisseriaG/wish/348950081 women
