Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to examine tetracycline-resistant gonococci and to set up a real-time PCR method to identify, in the same assay, both the chromosomally and the plasmid-mediated tetracycline-resistant genotypes. A retrospective analysis for tetracycline susceptibility was performed by the E-test and agar dilution methods on 289 gonococci isolated in Italy from 2003 to 2005. Molecular mechanisms of...
