“…N. gonorrhoeae resistance is commonly observed with penicillin, tetracycline and fluoroquinolones antibiotics [6]. Resistance has also emerged against cefixime, an oral third generation cephalosporin, in recent years [7,8]. Since 2010, cefixime has not been recommended as first-line drug treatment [7,8] following WHO guidelines, stating that an antibiotic should not be used when more than 5 % of N. gonorrhoeae isolates are resistant [9].…”

“…Une monothérapie pour le traitement de la gonorrhée n'est pas recommandée comme des cas d'échec du traitement par monothérapie à la céfixime par voie orale ont été recensés au Canada (12,18,19). Dans notre échantillon, environ 30 % des médecins ont indiqué qu'ils traiteraient la gonorrhée au moyen d'une monothérapie à base de céphalosporines; toutefois, près de la moitié des médecins ont déclaré que le but du deuxième antibiotique (souvent l'azithromycine) était de traiter la chlamydia seulement (et non la gonorrhée) et 87 % d'entre eux étaient d'avis qu'un traitement concomitant pour la chlamydia était conseillé lorsqu'un patient est traité pour une gonorrhée.…”

“…Отмечено, что среди мужчин про-цент штаммов со сниженными показателями чув-ствительности к цефиксиму и цефродоксину выше, чем в популяциях с необозначенной гендерной при-надлежностью или у женщин [39,[66][67][68][69][70]. Отмечен высокий риск появления штаммов N. gonorrhoeae, не чувствительных к цефиксиму и цефродоксину, сре-ди МСМ [71].…”
