“…Clinical failure in the ampicillin treatment of meningitis (caused by H. influenzae) has now been reported with considerable frequency. In recent years, penicillinase-forming gonococci have shown considerable spread worldwide (29)(30)(31), and several different ,-lactamase plasmids have been identified among them (32). A penicillinase-producing gonococcus with a high level of resistance to spectinomycin has been described (33,34), but such strains appear to be still uncommon.…”

SUMMARY One hundred strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (including 30 penicillinase producing (PPNG) strains) originating from Korea were characterised by plasmid analysis, auxotyping, and serogrouping. Eighty per cent of the isolates possessed the conjugative 24 5 megadalton (Mdal) plasmid. A novel 7-8 Mdal plasmid was present in four isolates (one PPNG and three non-PPNG strains). Seventy five per cent of all the strains tested were wild type and belonged to serogroup WII, while 20% were proline requiring and belonged to serogroup WlI. Two of the remaining strains were tyrosine auxotrophs, while another strain was arginine requiring; these three strains carried the conjugative plasmid and belonged to serogroup WII.
