Neisseria Gonorrhoeae Reference Strains for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing

Quality Assurance for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Canada, 2003 to 2012.

Data from the Canadian National Gonococcal Antimicrobial Susceptibility Comparison Program, including results from 25 proficiency panels distributed between 2003 and 2012, were analyzed. The average MIC agreement between the participating laboratories ranged from 85.6% to 98.8% over the 10-year period, with the interpretation agreement ranging from 85.7% to 98.1%.

In vitro susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to nine antimicrobial agents.

The in vitro action of nine antibiotics was tested by the agar streak method against 45 gonococcal strains isolated from penicillin-therapy failures. The penicillin susceptibility range of these strains was 0.003 to 1.32 mug/ml, and the tetracycline susceptibility range was 0.125 to 2.0 mug/ml. Minimal inhibitory concentrations of minocycline and doxycycline paralleled the activity of tetracycl...

Assessment of Etest as an alternative to agar dilution for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

We studied whether the Etest can be used as an alternative to agar dilution to determine antimicrobial susceptibilities of ceftriaxone, cefixime, and cefpodoxime in Neisseria gonorrhoeae surveillance. One hundred fifteen clinical and laboratory isolates of N. gonorrhoeae were tested following the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-approved CLSI standard agar dilution method and, ...

A Study Of The Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern Of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

Background and objectives: Rapidly emerging antimicrobial resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates to currently recommended antibiotics is a setback for effective treatment and control of disease. This study was carried out to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profile in the isolates obtained from female sexual workers and male patients attending STI clinics in Hyderabad. Materials...
