conclusions nucleic acid amplification tests (naats) are very appropriate in detection of infected individuals. detection techniques such as naats are independent of bacterial viability, and have a potential to limit false negative samples, therefore, in our country, the application of different laboratory diagnosis methods including naats with culture as gold standard for determination antimic...

objective: sexually transmitted infections (stis) remain a public health problem of major significance in most parts of the world. this study aimed to detect the most prevalent pathogens in patients with signs and symptoms of sti referring to a group of university clinics in tehran. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study using randomized cluster sampling, 507 consecutive male and ...

BACKGROUND Neisseria gonorrhea is the etiological agent of the sexually transmitted disease (STD) gonorrhea, and primarily infects the mucous membranes of the urethra, endocervix, pharynx or rectum of females which may result in substantial morbidity. N. gonorrhea also causes disseminated infection, with complications that may result in ectopic pregnancy, tubal infertility, chronic pelvic pain ...

Introduction disseminated gonococcal infection which presents with arthralgias, tenosynovitis, or arthritis and rush. Gonorrhea control strategies have relied on the use of highly effective and often single dose therapy administered at the time of diagnosis. The appearance and subsequent increased inciden...

female sex worker; thus, the bacteria could have derived from her pharynx. N. gonorrhoeae strain H041 was previously isolated from the pharynx of a female sex worker (1). To prevent the emergence and spread of ceftriaxone-resistant N. gonorrhoeae, pharyngeal gonorrhea must be treated. It is uncertain whether a 1-g dose of ceftriaxone would be effective against pharyngeal gonorrhea caused by str...

Although gonorrhea has afflicted humans for centuries, and the causative bacterium, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, was identified more than a century ago, gonorrhea remains a public health problem in the United States. Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported notifiable infection in the United States; >300,000 cases were reported in 2011. In the United States, health inequities persist; the incid...

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea are the most public health concern in developing countries. Screening for sexually transmitted infection such as Neisseria gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis was suggested by CDC at first visit and also last trimester of pregnancy because early infection can asymptomatic and also may complicated by severe sequela. Objective: This paper ...

BACKGROUND Gonorrhea is a major sexually transmitted disease worldwide and for its control, effective treatment is essential. However as more strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae continuously develop resistance to several drugs, this strategy obliges scientists to discover newer effective drugs. OBJECTIVES To ascertain whether crude leaf and root extracts of Cassia alata (Caesalpiniaceae) have an...

Components in 4CMenB vaccine against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B have shown to potentially cross-react with Neisseria gonorrhoeae. We modeled the theoretical impact of a US 4CMenB vaccination program on gonorrhea outcomes. A decision-analysis model was populated using published healthcare utilization and cost data. A two-dose adolescent vaccination campaign was assumed, with protective i...
