Beta-lactam susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from pelvic inflammatory disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gonococci isolated in France from urethral and endocervical cultures in 12 women with pelvic inflammatory disease were similar, in their susceptibility to six beta-lactam antibiotics as determined by an agar dilution procedure, to isolates from patients with uncomplicated anogenital infections (83 patients). These data contrast with earlier study done in the United States.

Comparative in-vitro activity of selected new beta-lactam antimicrobials against Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Four new beta-lactam antimicrobials, ceftriaxone, cefotiam, cefonicid, and mecillinam, were evaluated in vitro against 72 beta-lactamase-negative and 26 beta-lactamase-positive isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Ceftriaxone was the most active of the antimicrobials tested. It inhibited all isolates, regardless of beta-lactamase activity, at a concentration of less than or equal to 0.015 microgr...
متن کاملProposed interpretive criteria and quality control parameters for testing susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to beta-lactam-clavulanate combinations.
To support future clinical studies, in vitro susceptibility tests were examined to determine whether Neisseria gonorrhoeae could be tested reliably against two beta-lactam-clavulanate combinations. All isolates that were tested appeared to be susceptible to amoxicillin and ticarcillin in combination with clavulanic acid. In the absence of resistant isolates, only a breakpoint for a susceptible ...
متن کاملConjunctivitis caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates with reduced cephalosporin susceptibility and multidrug resistance.
We report two cases of conjunctivitis caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae with reduced cephalosporin susceptibility. Patients showed no response to cefmenoxime eye drops and intravenous ceftriaxone administration. The patients' condition improved after the addition of oral minocycline. The isolates contained the mosaic penA for reduction of β-lactam susceptibility.
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of Haemophilus influenzae and neisseria gonorrhoeae to Ro 13-9904 in comparison with other beta-lactam antibiotics.
Ro 13-9904 has high in vitro activity, as does cefotaxime, against 57 Haemophilus influenzae and 60 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, including 5 and 11 beta-lactamase-producing strains in each group, respectively.
متن کاملAgar dilution method for susceptibility testing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
The antibiotic susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates obtained from patients attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases in Tucumán, Argentina, were determined by the agar dilution method (MIC). 3.5% of the isolates produced beta-lactamase. A total of 96.5% of beta-lactamase negative isolates tested were susceptible to penicillin (MIC < or = 2 micrograms/ml-1); 14.03% of th...
