Penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoea in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Survey of cases of gonorrhoea caused by penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the United Kingdom.

A postal survey of clinicians working in departments of genitourinary medicine in the United Kingdom was carried out to assess the accuracy of the routine surveillance system for penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG). A discrepancy was found between the number of cases that had been seen by clinicians and those notified to the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre. The differe...

Epidemiology and treatment of gonorrhoea caused by penicillinase-producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Fukuoka, Japan.

Thirty strains of penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) were detected by a rapid iodometric method out of 206 strains isolated from patients with gonorrhoea between January and December 1981. Of the 30 patients, five of the nine women were prostitutes and 14 of the 21 men were infected by prostitutes in or around Fukuoka City, with the exception of one who was infected in Formosa...

Spectinomycin-resistant penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Since March 1976, 7 cases of PPNG have been identified in Alaska. However, 3 of these cases occurred in 1980. We recommend that all physicians and other health care providers be alert for any patient diagnosed as having gonorrhea who gives a history of exposure in Southeast Asia or the Philippines. Such patients should be cultured, the lab slip marked "test for possible PPNG", and treatment giv...

Spectinomycin-resistant penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae--California.

In vitro antibiotic susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Antibiotic susceptibilities were determined for 122 Neisseria gonorrheae isolates obtained from 400 sex workers in Jakarta, Indonesia, and susceptibilities to ciprofloxacin, cefuroxime, cefoxitin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, chloramphenicol, and spectinomycin were found. All isolates were resistant to tetracycline. A number of the isolates demonstrated decreased susceptibilities to erythromycin (M...
