Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Emergence of multidrug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae resulting from new genetic mutations is a serious threat to controlling gonorrhea. GOAL: To determine 1) antimicrobial susceptibilities and the corresponding genetic mutations and 2) the role of MtrRCDE efflux system in gonococcal resistance to fluoroquinolones. STUDY DESIGN: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and sequence analysis of gyrA,...
