Abstract: | Objective To investigate the antibiotic resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) to five antibiotics and the prevalence of penicillinase-producing NG (PPNG) and tetracycline-resistant NG (TRNG) in Chengdu. Methods Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of five antibiotics were determined using the agar dilution method, and β-lactamase was analyzed by the paper acidimetric method. Results A total of 112 NG isolates were examined. There were 58 PPNG (51.79%) and 31 TRNG (27.68%) demonstrated respectively. The resistant rates to penicillin and azithromycin were 76.79% and 25.00% respectively. All strains were found to be resistant to ciprofloxacin. One spectinomycin resistant strain was detected. No ceftriaxone resistant strains were found. Multidrug resistant rate was 36.61%(41/112). The resistant rate of 24 strains were high to ciprofloxacin, penicillin, and tetracycline at the same time, while the resistant rate of one strain was low to ciprofloxacin, penicillin, tetracycline, azithromycin, and spectinomycin at the same time. Conclusion It is important to strengthen the NG surveillance of antimicrobial resistance, and ceftriaxone and spectinomycin are the first-choice drug for treatment of NG in |
