The pathogenicNeisseriaand most commensalNeisseriaspecies produce an iron-binding protein (Fbp) when grown under iron-limited conditions. In the current study, we confirmed the presence of Fbp, as well as DNA sequences homologous to the gonococcalfbp, in strains ofN. gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis, N. cinerea, N. lactamica, N. subflava, N. kochiiandN. polysaccharea. Thefbpgenes from these strains were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction, digested withStuI orRsaI, and the restriction patterns examined. The patterns for the gonococcal and meningococcalfbpwere virtually identical; however, variations were observed in thefbpsequences of the commensalNeisseriaspecies.N. flavescens, N. mucosa, N. sicca, N. ovisandBranhamella catarrhalis, did not produce Fbp as detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electropheris and reactivity with an Fbp specific monoclonal antibody, nor did they hybridize to anfbp-specific DNA probe.
