Strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae that are resistant to antimicrobial agents have emerged after the use of these agents. Antimicrobial resistance can be either chromosomal or plasmid-mediated. Arbitrary methods, both agar-dilution and disk-diffusion procedures, have been developed to measure the i...
