چکیده

We report 4 urogenital Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates recovered from 3 patients that demonstrated resistance to penicillin, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin and reduced susceptibility to cefixime. This report of the first 3 patients in the United States identified with this multidrug-resistant strain may portend an emerging problem for clinicians and public health officials.

Draft Genome Sequence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Sequence Type 1407, a Multidrug-Resistant Clinical Isolate

Gonorrhea may become untreatable due to the spread of resistant or multidrug-resistant strains. Cefixime-resistant gonococci belonging to sequence type 1407 have been described worldwide. We report the genome sequence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain G2891, a multidrug-resistant isolate of sequence type 1407, collected in Italy in 2013.

Antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance and genetic characteristics of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from Poland, 2010-2012

BACKGROUND In Poland, gonorrhoea has been a mandatorily reported infection since 1948, however, the reported incidences are likely underestimated. No antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data for Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been internationally reported in nearly four decades, and data concerning genetic characteristics of N. gonorrhoeae are totally lacking. The aims of this study were to investigate t...

Mutation in ribosomal protein S5 leads to spectinomycin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Spectinomycin remains a useful reserve option for therapy of gonorrhea. The emergence of multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains with decreased susceptibility to cefixime and to ceftriaxone makes it the only medicine still effective for treatment of gonorrhea infection in analogous cases. However, adoption of spectinomycin as a routinely used drug of choice was soon followed by report...

Characterization of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates detected in Switzerland (1998–2012): emergence of multidrug-resistant clones less susceptible to cephalosporins

BACKGROUND The spread of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) isolates resistant to the clinically implemented antibiotics is challenging the efficacy of treatments. Unfortunately, phenotypic and molecular data regarding Ng detected in Switzerland are scarce. METHODS We compared the characteristics of Ng detected during 1998-2001 (n = 26) to those detected during 2009-2012 (n = 34). MICs were obtained ...

A Study Of The Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern Of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae

Background and objectives: Rapidly emerging antimicrobial resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates to currently recommended antibiotics is a setback for effective treatment and control of disease. This study was carried out to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profile in the isolates obtained from female sexual workers and male patients attending STI clinics in Hyderabad. Materials...
