Nearly all
N. gonorrhoeae isolates with clinical or in vitro resistance to ESCs contain a mosaic penA allele.
Results: Culture yielded a total of 25(42%) isolates of
N. gonorrhoeae from 60 clinically suspected patients of both sexes; 21 from male (17 from urethral discharge and 04 from prostatic secretion) and 04 from female (endocervical secretion).
Because antimicrobial resistance can shift in response to selective pressure, experts are exploring the use of antibiotics once considered ineffective for treating
N. gonorrhoeae infections.
(2005) detectaron un segmento de 8 aminoacidos en la region del gen gyrA de
N. gonorrhoeae que presentaba mutaciones en el codon de Ser 91 y Asp 95, indicando que estas mutaciones presentes en el gen gyrA estan relacionadas directamente con valores de resistencia a quinolonas en ensayos de Concentracion Minima Inhibitoria (MIC).
However, in 2008 and 2012, BAPCOC recommended ceftriaxone for few other indications in ambulatory care other than genitourinary and sexually transmitted infections which could be caused by
N. gonorrhoeae (syphilis in case of penicillin allergy ([15, p.
The guidelines also state that ciprofloxacin is an alternative treatment option if the
N. gonorrhoeae has tested as susceptible.
Infection with
N. gonorrhoeae is spread through sexual contact and, depending on the anatomic site of exposure, can cause acute urethritis, cervicitis, proctitis, or pharyngitis.
Clinical data also indicates that previous infections with
N. gonorrhoeae do not improve immune response in patients with reinfection, thus suggesting that immunological memory is not induced by gonococcus [5].
There is growing global concern about antimicrobial resistance in
N. gonorrhoeae. Only third-generation cephalosporins, the last available class of antibiotics to treat this condition, currently remain as the recommended first line treatment.
Neisseriagonorrhoeae cases resistant to azithromycin detected in San Diego led the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to issue a "Dear Colleague" letter reminding clinicians to limit use of azithromycin monotherapy to treat uncomplicated rectal and genitourinary infections caused by
N. gonorrhoeae.
Direct urethral/cervical smear and culture on chocolate agar and saponin-lysed blood agar with vancomycin, colistin, nystatin, trimethoprim (VCNT) supplement were carried out to diagnose
N. gonorrhoeae and the isolates were confirmed by standard methods.
Almost at the same time, a penicillinase-producing
N. gonorrhoeae (PPNG) strain was isolated in the USA in a soldier returning from the Phillipines due to bacterial carriage of the 4.4.MDa 'Asian' plasmid.
N. gonorrhoeae has pili, which are hairlike structures that bacteria extend and retract to move and to retrieve needed items.
