Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Reduced susceptibility to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in Neisseria gonorrhoeae has, to date, been associated with three alterations: a mosaic penA allele encoding the penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2); A-del-mtrR, an adenine deletion in the mtrR promoter; and penB, comprising mutated alleles of PorBIb. In this study, we examined an association between reduced susceptibility to ceftriaxone and...
