penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae in adelaide. 1976825705
epidemic gonococcal conjunctivitis in central australia.to describe an epidemic of gonococcal conjunctivitis in central australian aboriginal children, the responsible phenotypes of neisseria gonorrhoeae, factors facilitating spread and treatment efficacy.19957877537
annual report of the australian gonococcal surveillance programme 1996.in 1996 the australian gonococcal surveillance programme (agsp) examined 2,753 isolates of neisseria gonorrhoeae. the source of isolates, site of infection and antibiotic susceptibility patterns showed considerable regional variation. strains examined in adelaide, sydney and melbourne were predominantly from male patients where rectal and pharyngeal isolates were common. cases in other centres had a much lower male:female ratio and most were genital tract isolates. resistance to the penicillin a ...19979248128
an outbreak of non-sexually transmitted gonococcal conjunctivitis in central australia and the kimberley region.from 13 february to 27 june 1997, 447 cases of gonococcal conjunctivitis were identified by communicable disease and public health centres and community clinics in the northern territory, western australia and south australia. the outbreak involved aboriginal communities predominantly in central australia and the kimberley region in western australia. this was the first outbreak recorded in the kimberley region. it is not yet known whether the kimberley cases were part of the larger central aust ...19989583260
annual report of the australian gonococcal surveillance programme, 1997.the australian gonococcal surveillance programme (agsp) examined 2,817 isolates of neisseria gonorrhoeae in the period 1 january to 31 december 1997, a number similar to that reported in 1996. the biggest change in incidence of gonococcal disease occurred in new south wales and queensland where a 20% rise in the number of isolates was noted. in the latter case this was due to improved surveillance, but in the former represented a real increase. the sites of infection and antibiotic susceptibilit ...19989803596
annual report of the australian gonococcal surveillance programme, 1998.the australian gonococcal surveillance programme examined 3,583 isolates of neisseria gonorrhoeae in 1998. again in 1998 the rates and sites of infection and antibiotic susceptibility patterns varied considerably between regions, reflecting considerable differences between rural and urban gonorrhoea in australia. resistance to the penicillin and quinolone groups of antibiotics was highest in urban centres, but penicillins remained suitable for use in many parts of rural australia. quinolone-resi ...199910476608
annual report of the australian gonococcal surveillance programme, 1999.the primary aim of the australian gonococcal surveillance programme (agsp) is to monitor the antibiotic susceptibility of neisseria gonorrhoeae. in 1999 the agsp examined 3,740 isolates of gonococci from all states and territories. the rates and sites of infection and antibiotic susceptibility patterns varied considerably between regions, reflecting the considerable differences between non-urban and urban gonorrhoea in australia. resistance to the penicillin and quinolone groups of antibiotics w ...200011085015
annual report of the australian gonococcal surveillance programme, 2000.the australian gonococcal surveillance programme (agsp) monitors the antibiotic susceptibility of neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in all states and territories. in 2000 the in vitro susceptibility of 3,468 isolates of gonococci was determined by standardised methods. antibiotic susceptibility patterns varied considerably between regions. resistance to the penicillins was highest in larger urban centres and warrants close attention in those rural centres where treatment with the penicillins contin ...200111432529
annual report of the australian gonococcal surveillance programme, 2008.the australian gonococcal surveillance programme monitors the antibiotic susceptibility of neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in all states and territories. in 2008 the in vitro susceptibility of 3,110 isolates of gonococci from public and private sector sources was determined by standardised methods. different antibiotic susceptibility patterns were again seen in the various jurisdictions and regions. resistance to the penicillins nationally was at 44% and ranged between 25% in queensland and 73% i ...200920047199
annual report of the australian gonococcal surveillance programme, 2009.the australian gonococcal surveillance programme (agsp) monitors antibiotic susceptibility testing of neisseria gonorrhoeae isolated in all states and territories. in 2009 the in vitro susceptibility of 3,220 isolates of gonococci from public and private sector sources was determined by standardised methods. varying antibiotic susceptibility patterns were again seen across jurisdictions and regions. resistance to the penicillins nationally was 36% and, with the exception of the northern territor ...201020690208
australian gonococcal surveillance programme annual report, 2015.the australian gonococcal surveillance programme (agsp) has continuously monitored antimicrobial resistance in clinical isolates of neisseria gonorrhoeae from all australian states and territories since 1981. in 2015, there were 5,411 clinical isolates of gonococci from public and private sector sources tested for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility by standardised methods. current treatment recommendations for the majority of australian states and territories is a dual therapeutic strategy of ...201728385139
treatment guidelines after an outbreak of azithromycin-resistant neisseria gonorrhoeae in south australia. 201728134103
australian gonococcal surveillance programme annual report, 2014.the australian gonococcal surveillance programme (agsp) has continuously monitored antimicrobial resistance in clinical isolates of neisseria gonorrhoeae from all states and territories since 1981. in 2014, 4,804 clinical isolates of gonococci from public and private sector sources were tested for in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility by standardised methods. decreased susceptibility to ceftriaxone (mic value 0.06-0.125 mg/l) was found nationally in 5.4% of isolates, a lower proportion than that ...201526620348
an audit of pharyngeal gonorrhoea treatment in a public sexual health clinic in adelaide, south australia.in recent times there have been changes to guidelines regarding the management of gonorrhoea, from both the centers for disease control and prevention in 2010 and the british association for sexual health and hiv (bashh) in 2011. coinciding with their release we conducted a clinical audit of our treatment protocol for gonorrhoea. in 2010, local data on the minimum inhibitory concentrations for neisseria gonorrhoeae indicated an increase in local isolates that were less sensitive to ceftriaxone ( ...201323970709
annual report of the australian gonococcal surveillance programme, 2011.the australian gonococcal surveillance programme monitors antibiotic susceptibility testing of neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates in all states and territories. in 2011, the in vitro susceptibility of 4,133 isolates of gonococci from public and private sector sources was determined by standardised methods. varying antibiotic susceptibility patterns were again reported across jurisdictions and regions. resistance to the penicillins nationally was 25%, and with the exception of the northern territory ...201223186215
