Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a gram-negative diplococcus estimated to cause up to 600,000 infections per year in the United States. Of even greater concern are the substantial number of infections that remain undiagnosed and umeported. Humans are the only known natural host of this intracellular parasite. Because of its rapid incubation period and the large number of infected individuals with asymptomatic disease, gonorrhea is difficult to control. " ... 

The role of glycolipids is still unclear. Certain glycolipid molecules may bind bacterial toxins, as well as bacterial cells, to animal cell membranes. For example, the toxins that cause cholera, tetanus, and botulism bind to glycolipid cell membrane receptors. Bacteria that have been shown to bind to glycolipid receptors include E. coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the causative agents of urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and gonorrhea, respectively.
