Drift in susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to ciprofloxacin and emergence of therapeutic failure.

Ciprofloxacin, 500 mg, was introduced as the first-line therapy for gonorrhea at St. Mary's Hospital, London, in 1989, when a surveillance program was initiated to detect the emergence of resistance. Isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from consecutive patients attending the Jefferiss Wing, Genitourinary Medicine Clinic at St. Mary's Hospital, between 1989 and 1997 have been tested for susceptibi...

Laboratory detection of ciprofloxacin resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

During 1989 and 1990 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae with reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin were isolated in laboratories across the United Kingdom. Treatment failures were associated with some of these infections. These strains were detected by quantitative susceptibility testing because the zone of inhibition around 5 micrograms ciprofloxacin discs shows little decrease in size even wi...

Rapid spread of Neisseria gonorrhoeae ciprofloxacin resistance due to a newly introduced resistant strain in Nuuk, Greenland, 2012–2015: a community-based prospective cohort study

OBJECTIVES To determine the antimicrobial susceptibility and genotype distribution of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains isolated from a cohort of patients in Nuuk, Greenland in order to assess the risk of rapid spread in the event of introduction of new strains. METHODS Gonococcal isolates (n=102) obtained from a prospective cohort study of ciprofloxacin resistance were collected between March 20...

Disseminated gonococcal infection in an immunocompetent patient caused by an imported Neisseria gonorrhoeae multidrug-resistant strain.

We herein report the microbiological features of a Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain isolated from an immunocompetent patient with disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI). The strain expressed the IA/IB serovar; was resistant to penicillin, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin; and had presumably been acquired in Southeast Asia. To date, this is the first case reported in our country of DGI due to an imp...

In Vitro Activity of Delafloxacin against Clinical Neisseria gonorrhoeae Isolates and Selection of Gonococcal Delafloxacin Resistance.

We evaluated the in vitro activity of delafloxacin against a panel of 117 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, including 110 clinical isolates collected from 2012 to 2015 and seven reference strains, compared with the activities of seven antimicrobials currently or previously recommended for treatment of gonorrhea. We examined the potential for delafloxacin to select for resistant mutants in ciproflo...
