High-level azithromycin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae clinical isolate in France, March 2014.
We report the first case in France of a high-level azithromycin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 96 mg/L) assigned to MLST7363 (NG-MAST ST6360), also resistant to ciprofloxacin and tetracycline but susceptible to ceftriaxone. The patient was a 51 year-old heterosexual man who returned following 1g azithromycin monotherapy. Mechanisms of azithromycin resi...
متن کاملEmergence and spread of azithromycin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Scotland.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyse the trend in azithromycin susceptibility (AzDS) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Scotland between April 2004 and December 2007, and to characterize isolates exhibiting decreased AzDS or high-level azithromycin resistance (AzHLR). METHODS Antibiotic susceptibility testing and N. gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence typing (NG-MAST) were performed on all ...
متن کاملNeisseria gonorrhoeae with high-level resistance to azithromycin: case report of the first isolate identified in the United States.
We report on the first Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolate in the United States identified with high-level resistance to azithromycin. This report discusses the epidemiologic case investigation, the molecular studies of resistance-associated mutations and N. gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence typing, and challenges posed by emerging gonococcal antimicrobial resistance.
متن کاملEmergence of high-level azithromycin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae in England and Wales.
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the origin of high-level azithromycin resistance that emerged in isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in England and Wales in 2007, and to establish methods for identifying high-level azithromycin resistance. METHODS The Gonococcal Resistance to Antimicrobials Surveillance Programme (GRASP) data from 2001-07 were examined for emerging trends in azithrom...
متن کاملNew mutation in 23S rRNA gene associated with high level of azithromycin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Although azithromycin (1 g orally in a single dose) is not recommended for treating gonorrhea, it is still used in some parts of the world, and it is widely used either to treat Chlamydia trachomatis infections or, in combination with expanded-spectrum cephalosporins, to treat simultaneous infections with both chlamydia and gonococci (7). A higher dose of 2 g of new formulations of azithromycin...
