Serovars, auxotypes, and plasmid profiles of PPNG strains with Asian type plasmid isolated in Amsterdam.
In 1982 an increase of penicillinase producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG), carrying the 4.5 megadalton Asian type plasmid and the 24 megadalton transfer plasmid (Asia+), was observed in Amsterdam. The main auxotypes were proline requiring (Pro-) and proline and hypoxanthine requiring (Pro-Hyx-). Using two monoclonal antibody systems, it was shown that the serovars of strains with t...
متن کاملSerovars, auxotypes, and plasmid contents of PPNG strains from outbreak in Amsterdam.
The first outbreak of penicillinase producing strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) in Amsterdam in 1981-2 was caused mainly by African strains carrying the 24 megadalton transfer plasmid (Afr+) that were non-requiring (NR) and inhibited by phenylalanine (pheni), but African strains without the transfer plasmid (Afr-) that were NRpheni and Afr+ NR strains were also found. Serological classifi...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance, plasmid profile, auxotypes and serovars of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains isolated in Sevilla (Spain).
The antibiotics resistance pattern, the plasmid profile, the auxotypes and serotypes of 116 Neisseria gonorrhoeae clinical isolates obtained in one year were examined. The incidence of penicillinase producing (PPNG) strains was 12% (14 strains). The most frequent plasmid pattern was the combination of 4.5, 2.6 and 24.5 MDa plasmids. The conjugative plasmid of 24.5 MDa showed a high prevalence (...
متن کاملSerological classification in relation to auxotypes, plasmid contents, and susceptibilities to antimicrobials of PPNG and non-PPNG strains isolated in Greece.
Thirty three penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) and 152 non-PPNG strains were serologically classified in relation to their patterns of resistance to antimicrobials, nutritional requirements (auxotypes), and plasmid contents. Of the 185 strains, 65 (35%) belonged to the WI and 120 (65%) to the WII/III serogroup, the predominant serovars of which were Arost and Bropt, respectiv...
متن کاملEpidemiology of PPNG infections in Amsterdam: analysis by auxanographic typing and plasmid characterisation.
In January 1981 the incidence of penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) strains in Amsterdam had increased to 18% of all new cases of gonorrhoea. Auxanographic typing in combination with plasmid determination of 729 PPNG strains showed that in 1981 the predominant and endemic types were those with the Africa plasmid and transfer factor which were non-requiring and inhibited by phe...
