Diseases Caused by Neisseria Gonorrhoeae And Ayurvedic Treatment

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a bacterial pathogen responsible for gonorrhea and various sequelae that tend to occur when asymptomatic infection ascends within the genital tract or disseminates to distal tissues. Global rates of gonorrhea continue to rise, facilitated by the emergence of broad-spectrum antibiotic resistance that has recently afforded the bacteria ‘superbug’ status. N. gonorrhoeae is exquisitely adapted to life in humans, having evolved novel strategies to succeed in their restricted mucosal niche.

Gonococci also represent a paradigm for bacterial immune evasion due to its genetically plastic lifestyle and ability to directly suppress otherwise protective adaptive responses, allowing the bacteria to persist within an infected individual and re-infect individuals who have had prior infection. So Ayurveda effectively manages this with the help of Ayurvedic Products. Some profitable and effective herbal remedies for preventing and treating Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections are given by Planet Ayurveda.
