Neisseria gonorrhoeae is only found in people. It has no environmental reservoir, and it does not naturally infect animals. N. gonorrhoeae can infect cells in multiple parts of the human body. It most often infects the urethra in men and the uterine cervix in women. In women it frequently spreads to the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing pelvic inflammatory disease which may result in sterility. Other sites of infection include the anus, the throat, the conjuncitva of the eyes, and the bloodstream.
