Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gonorrhea is caused by a gram-negative bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can cause inflammation of the urethra, prostate, rectum, or pharynx. Syphilis is caused by a gram-positive bacterium called Treponema pallidum and does not typically cause inflammation in those areas. NGU (non-gonococcal urethritis) is caused by various bacteria, including Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Ureaplasma urealyticum, and is not specific to gram-negative bacteria. HPV (human papillomavirus) is not caused by bacteria at all, but rather by a DNA virus.
