The changing pattern of antibiotic resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Multiple antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

The sensitivities of gonococcal isolates to six antibiotics were determined for gonococci isolated in Philadelphia in 1972. The degree of association between susceptibilities to any two antibiotics was determined (coefficient of correlation). The correlation between penicillin and tetracycline (r = 0.75) was almost as good as that between two penicillins, penicillin G and ampicillin (r = 0.85),...

Changing antibiotic susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Franceville, Gabon.

Susceptibilities to penicillin, cefotaxime, kanamycin, tetracycline, and spectinomycin were measured for 5 reference strains and 302 Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates collected between 1980 and 1985. After an initial rise, the number of penicillinase-producing strains decreased. A gradual decrease in susceptibility to spectinomycin and the appearance of tetracycline-resistant strains were also doc...

Prevalence of multiple antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

The susceptibility of 100 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to five antimicrobial agents (penicillin, streptomycin, oxytetracycline, sulphamethoxazole, and gentamicin) was examined. Three strains were resistant to each antimicrobial, fourteen exhibited resistance to three or four of the five compounds tested, and 49 were resistant to a single agent, or to pairs of the selected agents. 34 strains...

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2001-2005)

Background Gonorrhoea is the third most common sexually transmitted infection (after syphilis and non-gonococcal urethritis) seen in patients attending the Genitourinary Medicine (GUM) Clinic in Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL). Its association with poor reproductive health outcomes and the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance has made it a major public health concern. Objective To dete...
