Laboratory methods for the detection and phenotypic characterization of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains resistant to antimicrobial agents.

Abstract excerpt

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 in-vitro antimicrobial resistance of gonococcal isolates. These methods must be performed by use of standard procedures...
