Beta-lactam susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from pelvic inflammatory disease

Gonococci isolated in

Antibiotic susceptibilities and auxotypes of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains from women with pelvic inflammatory disease or uncomplicated infections

“…Susceptibility to antibiotics and genetic defects in a particular biosynthetic pathway may be associated with the virulence of N. gonorrhoeae and its ability to produce systemic infection (14,15). Certain findings suggest that the gonococci causing PID may also have unique biological characteristics (2,3,6,11), whereas others do not (10). The The distribution of auxotypes among cervical isolates from women with uncomplicated infections and women with PID is listed in Table 1.…”
