Abstract:The in vitro activity of seven antibiotics against 52 isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was determined. Against penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae, ceftriaxone was the most active agent (MIC90 0.015 micrograms/ml), followed by ceftizoxime and norfloxacin (MIC90 0.03-0.125 micrograms/ml). Against spectinomycin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the most active agents were ceftizoxime, ceftriaxone and norfloxacin (MIC90 0.015-0.125 micrograms/ml). Ceftizoxime, ceftriaxone and norfloxacin were also the m… Show more
