However , N. gonorrhoeae has developed resistance to multiple classes of anti-microbial drugs, including β-lactams, tetracyclines, and fl uoroquinolones (1–3). Even an extended-spectrum oral cephalosporin-resistant, cefi xim...
متن کاملIncreasing Incidence of High-Level Tetracycline-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae due to Clonal Spread and Foreign Import
PURPOSE The detection of high-level tetracycline-resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (TRNG) can make important epidemiological contributions that are relevant to controlling infections from this pathogen. In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence of TRNG isolates over time and also to investigate the characteristics and genetic epidemiology of these TRNG isolates in Korea. MAT...
متن کاملSpread of Neisseria gonorrhoeae resistant to tetracycline outside the United States of America.
Since February 1985 Neisseria gonorrhoeae resistant to tetracycline has been recognised increasingly in the United States of America, 99 isolates from 17 states having been reported by April 1987.' These isolates exhibit high resistance to tetracycline (minimal inhibitory concentration B 16 mg tetracycline/l), which is encoded on a 25-2 megadalton transmissible plasmid.2 We present what we beli...
