Antibiotic-resistant gonococci.

Antibiotic-resistant gonococci - past, present and future.

Gonorrhoea remains one of the commonest STIs from a global perspective and, left untreated or treated inadequately, may result in serious complications such as epididymo-orchitis and pelvic inflammatory disease and their adverse sequelae. Since the introduction of sulphonamides in the 1930s, the gonococcus has shown itself to be a master of adaptability and has acquired a number of chromosomal ...

Validity of reports of penicillin-resistant gonococci.

Antibiotic sensitivity of gonococci and treatment of gonorrhoea in Uganda.

VENEREAL disease, especially gonorrhoea, is of very common occurrence among students of Makerere University College, in Kampala, Uganda (Arya and Bennett; 1967, 1968), and this provides an excellent opportunity for the study of the treatment of gonorrhoea. Most patients are seen by one doctor, and almost all can be followed up until it is clear that they are either free from infection or have b...

Antibiotic sensitivities of gonococci isolated in Rotterdam and results of treatment with cefuroxime.

In a study of the efficacy of cefuroxime in the treatment of 278 cases of acute gonorrhoea (including rectal and pharyngeal infections and infections due to penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae), high cure rates were found for both male (98.8%) and female patients (98.6%). Disadvantages of this treatment are its high cost and the relatively high proportion of patients who develop postg...
