| increased antibiotic resistance of neisseria gonorrhoeae in korea. | there has been a marked increase in the resistance of neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in korea to penicillin, ampicillin, and tetracycline. in contrast, there has been no increased resistance to spectinomycin. | 1976 | 131510 |
| asymptomatic urethral gonorrhea among men in public new york city social hygiene clinics. | cultures were made from the urethra of 2,370 male social hygiene clinic patients who were not directly associated with gonorrhea by signs, symptoms or epidemiology were cultured for n. gonorrhoeae. of these asymptomatic individuals, 37 or 1.6% were found to be urethrally infected. gram stain smear examinations of urethral specimens from these men were positive in about one-half of the cases. | 1976 | 134011 |
| [serologic pattern of meningococci in a focus of infection]. | the authors present the results of typing of meningococci (isolated from the patients and carriers) by the sera of serological groups a, b, c, d, x, y, and z made at the leningrad institute of vaccine and sera. the causative agents of serological group a were most frequently isolated from the patients with the generalized forms of meningococcus infection. the percentage of detection of meningococci of serological group a was the greatest in the patients and much less in the carriers in and outsi ... | 1976 | 136161 |
| activity in vitro of ten antimicrobial agents against neisseria gonorrhoeae. a study of the correlation between the sensitivities. | 105 belgian strains of neisseria gonorrhoeae were tested for their sensitivity to penicillin, ampicillin, rifampicin, erythromycin, tetracycline, streptomycin, spectinomycin, sulphamethoxazole, trimethroprim, and a combination of sulphamethoxazole and trimethroprim in a 5:1 ratio. distribution and median values of minimum inhibitory concentrations (mics) are given and discussed. 42 per cent. of strains were relatively resistant to penicillin (mic greater than or equal to 0-04 mug/ml.), but only ... | 1976 | 136290 |
| [epidemiologic analysis morbidity with meningococcal infections in the ussr]. | the authors present the analysis of the incidence of epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis in the ussr from 1937 to 1974, and of meningococcus infection from 1965 to 1974. a rise of the meningococcus infection incidence from 1969 to 1974 was recorded 28 years after the elevation of 1940-1942 and was 1.5 times below this latter rise. the rise in 1969-1974 was characterized by marked signs peculiar to the infection with the droplet transmission mechanism; among those who contracted the disease prevale ... | 1976 | 139815 |
| spectinomycin-resistant neisseria gonorrhoeae. | neisseria gonorrhoeae resistant to high levels of spectinomycin (more than 2,048 microng/ml), were isolated from specimens obtained from a patient with urethritis. the bacterial resistance to spectinomycin is probably due to ribosomal changes that are a result of a chromosomal mutation. if spectinomycin fails to cure gonorrhea, spectinomycin resistance should be considered. | 1977 | 140251 |

| low back pain due to neisseria prostatitis: report of three cases. | after a short term of employment in a new job, 3 young heroin addicts became disabled from low back pain due to neisseria gonorrhea prostatitis. each returned to work after a few weeks of antibiotic therapy without symptoms following proper diagnosis. these patients demonstrate the importance of a careful history and thorough examination of the patient with low back pain including a rectal examination of the prostate gland. | 1977 | 144040 |
| [therapy of acute gonorrhea]. | since the appearance of totally resistant, penicillinase producing gonococci, penicillin should no longer be considered first choice in the treatment of acute gonorrhea. in order to limit further extension of resistant strains, thiamphenicol (urfamycin 2,5 p.o. or 0,75 i.m.) or spectinomycin (trobicin 2,0 i.m.) are suggested as replacements for penicillin. | 1977 | 144315 |
| spectinomycin hydrochloride in the treatment of gonorrhoea: its effect on associated chlamydia trachomatis infections. | sixty-three heterosexual men were successfully treated with a single injection of spectinomycin hydrochloride 2 g for urethral infections with neisseria gonorrhoeae. chlamydia trachomatis was recovered from the urethra of 11 of these men both before and after treatment. in six men, the organism was isolated after but not before treatment. no isolates were obtained from the remaining men either before or after treatment. all 17 of the men who yielded c. trachomatis developed post-gonococcal ureth ... | 1977 | 144543 |

| penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae: results of surveillance in the united states. | in september 1976 the center for disease control (atlanta, georgia) initiated surveillance for cases of infection due to penicillinase-productin neisseria gonorrhoeae in the united states. one hundred ninety-one cases of penicillinase-producing gonococcal infection were confirmed through june 30, 1977. of 177 cases for which histories of sexual exposure were available, 69 were traced to sexual contact in the far east, and one was traced to sexual contact in west africa. of 181 cases for which cl ... | 1978 | 146725 |
| allergic contact dermatitis due to n,n-dimethyl-para-phenylenediamine in bacteriology technicians. | three cases of allergic contact dermatitis due to n,n-dimethyl-para-phenylenediamine in a bacteriology laboratory are presented. this chemical, a dye closely related to the common contact allergen para-phenylenediamine, is used in laboratories to screen bacterial culture plates for neisseria gonorrhoeae. the three patients had strongly positive patch test reactions to n,n-dimethyl-para-phenylenediamine, but had negative reactions to para-phenylenediamine. a brief discussion of allergic contact c ... | 1978 | 147159 |

| cross-canada survey of susceptibility of neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates to six antimicrobial agents. | the minimum inhibitory concentrations (mic's) of penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, spectinomycin and sulfadiazine were determined for 732 isolates of neisseria gonorrhoeae collected in 1973-74. comparison of the results of this survey with data from other canadian studies showed that the percentage of isolates resistant to tetracycline had not changed since 1966, but that the percentage of erythromycin-resistant isolates had decreased. after an initial increase in 1966 the perc ... | 1978 | 150305 |
| survey for immune complexes in disseminated gonococcal arthritis-dermatitis syndrome. | seventeen patients with characteristic disseminated gonococcal arthritis-dermatitis syndrome were studied for the presence of immune complexes, and circulating gonococcal antigen and antibody. the two immune complex techniques, monoclonal rheumatoid factor assay and cryoglobulin survey, did not reveal any consistent abnormalities. complement levels (ch50, c'3, c'4) were not consistent with peripheral consumption except in 2 patients with coinciding systemic lupus erythematosus. gonococcal antibo ... | 1979 | 153144 |
