The N. gonorrhoeae reference strains were obtained from the WHO reference strain panel for global quality assurance and quality control of gonococcal AMR testing21 (link),41 (link). The rest of N. gonorrhoeae strains used were clinical isolates obtained from the CDC (Supplementary Table 1). The commensal vaginal bacterial strains were obtained from the Biodefense and Emerging Infections Research Resources Repository (BEI Resources) (Supplementary Table 2). All chemical compounds used in this study were obtained commercially from chemical vendors: auranofin (Chem-Impex International, Wood Dale, IL), sodium aurothiomalate, tetracycline and ciprofloxacin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), aurothioglucose (USP reference standard Rockville, MD), ceftriaxone and cefixime (Acros Organics, NJ), and azithromycin (TCI America, Portland, OR).
Difco lactobacilli MRS broth, Brucella base broth and chocolate II agar (GC II Agar with hemoglobin and IsoVitaleX) were purchased from Becton, Dickinson and Company (Cockeysville, MD). Yeast extract and dextrose (Fisher Bioreagents, Fairlawn, NJ), proteose-peptone, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and agarose (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), hematin solution, Tween 80, and pyridoxal (Chem-Impex International, Wood Dale, IL) were purchased from chemical vendors.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Initially, a small library of gold compounds was tested for TRAP inhibition using a TRAP activity assay with recombinant unspecified human TRAP (R&D). The Au(III) compounds [Au(terpy)Cl]Cl2 (terpy = terpyridine, Auterpy), [Au2(μ-O)2(bipy)2](PF6)2 (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, Auoxo) and [Au(bipyOMe)Cl2][PF6] (bipyOMe = 4,4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bipyridine, AubipyOMe) were synthesized as previously described and their purity was confirmed by elemental analysis and showed to be >98%47 (link),73 (link),74 . The anti-rheumatic Au(I) compound sodium aurothiomalate and the reference Au(III) complex NaAuCl4 were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.
Inhibitor dilutions were prepared in acetate buffer from freshly prepared stock solutions (10 mM in DMSO). Recombinant unspecified TRAP (1.25 ng/ml, pH 4.5), TRAP5a (150 ng/mL, pH 5) or TRAP5b (150 ng/mL, pH 5.8) were incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes with PNPP solution [10 mM PNPP, 200 mM sodium acetaat, 300 mM potassium chloride) at the indicated pH at a 1:1 ratio and increasing concentrations of NaAuCl4 (range 0–40 μM) or Au compounds (range 0–5.1 μM). To stop the reaction, 1M NaOH was added and absorption at 410 nm, with 490 nm as a reference value, was measured using a spectrophotometer.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
