Comparison between bacampicillin and amoxycillin in treating genital and extragenital infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae and pharyngeal infection with Neisseria meningitidis.
Sixty three patients presumed to have genital gonorrhoea who gave histories of extragenital sexual practices were randomly treated with amoxycillin 3 g or bacampicillin 4.8 g (equivalent to 3.5 g ampicillin) with probenecid 1 g to compare the efficacy of the drugs in treating gonorrhoea at all sites. Three patients were initially culture negative, and seven failed to return for follow up. Twent...
متن کاملAccurate detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae ciprofloxacin susceptibility directly from genital and extragenital clinical samples: towards genotype-guided antimicrobial therapy
INTRODUCTION Increasing use of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) as the primary means of diagnosing gonococcal infection has resulted in diminished availability of Neisseria gonorrhoeae antimicrobial susceptibility data. We conducted a prospective diagnostic assessment of a real-time PCR assay (NGSNP) enabling direct detection of gonococcal ciprofloxacin susceptibility from a range of cl...
متن کاملInhibition of adherence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by human genital secretions.
Local genital antibodies to the infecting strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence (binding antibody) and by their ability to inhibit the attachment of gonococci to epithelial cells (functional antibody). Both IgG and IgA classes of immunoglobulin were involved, and the IgA component were primarily of a secreting (11S) nature. The ability of local genita...
متن کاملThe Pathobiology of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Lower Female Genital Tract Infection
Infection and disease associated with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the gonococcus, continue to be a global health problem. Asymptomatic and subclinical gonococcal infections occur at a high frequency in females; thus, the true incidence of N. gonorrhoeae infections are presumed to be severely underestimated. Inherent to this asymptomatic/subclinical diseased state is the continued prevalence of this ...
متن کاملExtragenital Infections Caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae: A Review of the Literature
In the United States, sexually transmitted diseases due to Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae continue to be a major public health burden. Screening of extragenital sites including the oropharynx and rectum is an emerging practice based on recent studies highlighting the prevalence of infection at these sites. We reviewed studies reporting the prevalence of extragenital infections ...
