In vitro antimicrobial sensitivity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from Rwanda.
The in vitro sensitivity of 104 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to six antimicrobial agents was tested. More than 50% of the isolates produced penicillinase. Of those that did not produce penicillinase, 26% were resistant (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)) greater than or equal to 0.5 mg/l), and 68% showed a decreased sensitivity for penicillin G (0.06 less than or equal to MIC less tha...

متن کاملUropathogenic Bacterial Isolates and their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns among HIV/AIDS Patients Attending Gondar University Specialized Hospital Gondar, Northwest Ethiopia
HIV is remarkable for its preference for T-lymphocytes and macrophages which are rendered incompetent or depleted while opportunities are provided for organisms and agents of otherwise low virulence to establish themselves and cause various infections and further morbidities. Therefore, it was aimed to determine the prevalence of uropathogenic bacterial isolates and their drug susceptibility pa...
متن کاملSerodiversity and antimicrobial resistance pattern of Shigella isolates at Gondar University teaching hospital, Northwest Ethiopia.

متن کاملCurrent and future antimicrobial treatment of gonorrhoea – the rapidly evolving Neisseria gonorrhoeae continues to challenge
Neisseria gonorrhoeae has developed antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to all drugs previously and currently recommended for empirical monotherapy of gonorrhoea. In vitro resistance, including high-level, to the last option ceftriaxone and sporadic failures to treat pharyngeal gonorrhoea with ceftriaxone have emerged. In response, empirical dual antimicrobial therapy (ceftriaxone 250-1000 mg plus a...
