Abstract excerpt

The genetic relatedness of 354 non-penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains was studied by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. The strains, isolated over 9 years in Spain, had different levels of susceptibility to penicillin and tetracycline. On the basis of results obtained by analys...
