Penicillinase-producing gonococci in the Netherlands.
Probably most penicillinase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) isolated in the Netherlands are sent to the Laboratory for Chemotherapy of the Rijks Instituut voor de Volksgezondheid (RIV). The co-operation between the RIV and the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) has resulted in a quarterly review of the PPNG strains isolated by the RIV Laboratory for Chemother...
متن کاملPenicillinase producing gonococci: a spent force?
Though the incidence of gonorrhoea caused by penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) strains at St Mary's Hospital rose rapidly from 1980 to reach 6.2% in 1982, it declined in 1983 (8.6%) and in 1984 (6.5%), a trend that has continued in 1985. The use of penicillinase stable antibiotics or more effective contact tracing are unlikely to be responsible for this recent decline. We hav...
متن کاملCharacterisation of penicillinase producing gonococci isolated in Munich, 1981-6.
Twenty three penicillinase producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) isolated in Munich from 1981 to 1986 were characterised in terms of their plasmid content, auxotypes, protein I serovars, and sensitivity to antibiotics. Sixteen strains (70%) harboured a 4.4 megadalton plasmid, with 13 of these strains also containing a 24.4 megadalton plasmid. Seven strains (30%) contained a 3.2 mega...
متن کاملGonorrhea in Rotterdam caused by penicillinase-producing gonococci.
Recently the prevalence of strains of penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) in the Netherlands has increased. A study of demographic and clinical data from patients with gonorrhoea due to PPNG strains, and of the biological characteristics of the strains isolated in Rotterdam, show that Asian strains of PPNG seem at present to be endemic in the Netherlands. Spectinomycin was foun...
متن کاملGentamicin in the treatment of infections due to penicillinase-producing gonococci.
Ninety-seven patients with infections due to penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) were treated with single doses of gentamicin 280 mg intramuscularly. The failure rate among those followed up was 3%. No significant side effects were recorded. Gentamicin is a valuable alternative in the treatment of infections due to PPNG strains.
