Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are produced by the human immune system in response to infection. Methods to detoxify these reactive species are vital to the survival of human pathogens, such as Neisseria meningitidis, which is the major aetiological agent of bacterial meningitis. Following activation, macrophages produce superoxide (O(2)(-)), hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and nitric oxide (NO). The toxicity of O(2)(-), generated using X/Xo (xanthine/xanthine oxidase), and H(2)O(2) was…

The results suggest that killing of N. gonorrhoeae ΔkatA by commercial PN preparations is likely due to H2O2, that H2 O2 is more toxic in the presence of PN, and that Pn, on its own, may not be as toxic as previously believed.

This profile revealed that S. xylosus is subject to nitrosative stress caused by reactive nitrogen species (RNS) generated from nitrate and nitrite, and has adapted its metabolic response—carbon and nitrogen metabolism, energy production and cell wall biogenesis—to the alterations produced by nitrosive stress.

It is shown that norB, and to a lesser extent cycP, enhance survival of N. meningitidis within primary human macrophages, and that the meningococcus requires active NO detoxification systems for optimal survival during experimental nasopharyngeal colonization and processing by human phagocytic cells.

It is shown that accumulation of Mn also confers resistance to hydrogen peroxide killing via a catalase-independent mechanism and differences in oxidative defenses in the pathogenic Neisseria are most likely a result of their localization in different ecological niches.

Exposure to NO resulted in minimal toxicity, but greatly potentiated (up to 1,000-fold) H2O2-mediated killing, as evaluated by a clonogenic assay, and a possible mechanism of modulation of H1N1-mediated toxicity is suggested.

It is shown that N. meningitidis can support growth microaerobically by the denitrification of nitrite via NO and that norB is required for anaerobic growth with nitrite and NorB and, to a lesser extent, the cycP gene product cytochrome c' are able to counteract toxicity due to exogenously added NO.
