Abstract excerpt
Quinolone resistance is increasing rapidly in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and is a significant public health problem that requires ongoing surveillance. To examine the feasibility of molecular surveillance of quinolone resistance, and to further characterize an outbreak of resistant N. gonorrhoeae in Israel, the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) sequences and the por types of 80 N. gonorrhoeae isolates...
