Surveillance of antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the WHO Western Pacific Region, 2006.
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The World Health Organization Western Pacific Region Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme (WHO WPR GASP) examined approximately 8,400 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from 16 countries for resistance to relevant antibiotics in 2006. Antimicrobial resistance was at record levels in the region and poses major problems for the management of this important disease. High rates of resistance to penicillins and quinolones persisted. Gonococci 'non-susceptible' to third generation cephalosporins were found in several centres. There were infrequent instances of spectinomycin resistance.

Effective treatment of gonorrhoea in the World Health Organization's Western Pacific Region is hampered by the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. A programme of surveillance of gonococcal susceptibility to antibiotics (GASP) continued in the region in 1998. A high proportion of isolates in many participating countries was resistant to quinolones and p...
