The antibiotic susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates obtained from patients attending sexually transmitted disease clinics in Cholburi and Bangkok, Thailand, were determined by agar dilution. Some 28.2% of isolates produced 13-lactamase. A total of 97.9% of 13-lactamase-positive and 51% of 1-lactamase-negative isolates tested were resistant to penicillin (MICs, 22 ,ug/ml), 70%o of isolates tested were resistant to tetracycline (MICs, >2 ug/ml), and 91% of isolates tested were susceptible to spectinomycin (MICs, c64 ,ug/ml). The MICs for 90% of isolates for the other drugs tested were 2 ,ug/ml for erythromycin, 2 img/ml for cefoxitin, 1 p,g/ml for cefuroxime, 0.125 ,ug/ml for cefpodoxime, 0.06 ,ug/ml for cefotaxime, 0.25 ,ug/ml for ceftazidime, 0.03 ,ug/ml for ceftizoxime, 0.03 ,ug/ml for ceftriaxone, 0.03 ,ug/ml for cefixime, 0.06 ,ug/ml for aztreonam, 0.008 ,ug/ml for ciprofloxacin, 0.125 p,g/ml for norfloxacin, and 0.075 ,ug/ml for ofloxacin. Fewer than 1.5% of isolates were resistant to the extended-spectrum cephalosporins tested. Some 0.3% or fewer isolates were resistant to broad-spectrum cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, or the monobactam aztreonam.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
