The Neisseria gonorrhoeae pglA gene has two alleles, one of which is phase variable. A previous study reported that all disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) isolates contained the phase-variable allele and proposed a causal link. In the present study of 81 strains no absolute correlation between DGI and the phase-variable pglA allele was observed.
淋病奈瑟菌pglA基因有两个等位基因,其中一个是相位可变的。先前的一项研究报告称,所有播散性淋球菌感染(DGI)分离株都含有相位可变等位基因,并提出了因果关系。在本研究的81株菌株中,未观察到DGI与相位可变pglA等位基因之间存在绝对相关性。
