An attachment of the gonococcus to the mucosal surface occurs before the invasion of deeper tissues while there is indication that the adhesion to epithelial cells is a factor that affects the distribution of bacteria in the mouth and gastrointestinal tract. Also‚ adherence to cells might be important in the pathogenesis of other mucosal infections. The best medication for this disease is the antibiotic penicillin; however‚ if the strains

collecting duct and be put back into circulation. On the cellular level‚ ADH promotes more aquaporins to be put into the membrane of the collecting duct. This occurs when ADH binds to the receptors mentioned earlier. This binding sends a signal for the cell to produce more aquaporin-2 (AQP-2)‚ a protein known as an ADH-regulated water channel. With more channels available in the apical membrane‚ water is able to diffuse out of the cell to reduce osmolarity. The overall effect of this hormone is to put water
