Abstract excerpt
Neisseria gonorrhoeae with mosaic penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2) is associated with reduced susceptibility to third-generation oral cephalosporins. A simple and rapid PCR method using three primers was designed to identify mosaic PBP2, which could help predict reduced susceptibility to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins in N. gonorrhoeae.
