| hiv and sexually transmitted infections at the borderlands: situational analysis of sexual health in the brazilian amazon. | the borderlands are considered areas of increased vulnerability to hiv and sexually transmitted infections (sti). the study aimed to determine the sti/hiv prevalence and risk factors in the triple-border area of the brazilian amazon. | 2012 | 22317841 |
| "hidden" sexually transmitted infections among women in primary care health services, amazonas, brazil. | this study describes the prevalence of infection by chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae and trichomonas vaginalis in a female population in amazonas, brazil. we collected cervical samples from 361 women examined at 10 primary care health services in the city of coari, amazonas, brazil. the women were interviewed about socio-economic data, clinical history and sexual behaviour. pelvic examinations were performed and cervical specimens were collected for detection of pathogens by pcr. the ... | 2014 | 24567444 |
| genotyping of two neisseria gonorrhoeae fluroquinolone-resistant strains in the brazilian amazon region. | we report two ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin-resistant neisseria gonorrhoeae strains that were isolated from the urethral discharge of male patients at the sexually transmitted diseases outpatient clinic of the alfredo da matta foundation (manaus, state of amazonas, brazil). the gonococci displayed minimal inhibitory concentrations (> 32.00 µg/ml) and three mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (s91f and d95g in gyra and s87r in parc). both isolates were genotyped using n. gonorr ... | 2011 | 21894387 |
| [prevalence of chlamydia and neisseria gonorrhoeae infections in pregnant women in six brazilian cities]. | this paper has aimed at estimating the prevalence of infections by chlamydia trachomatis and by neisseria gonorrhoeae in pregnant women from six brazilian cities, identifying its association with socio-economical and demographic variables. | 2008 | 19219343 |
| reduced susceptibility to azithromycin and high percentages of penicillin and tetracycline resistance in neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from manaus, brazil, 1998. | the identification of neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates resistant to antimicrobial agents currently recommended for the treatment of gonococcal infections continues to escalate globally. thus, in some areas, resistance to fluoroquinolone drugs is commonplace; several reports document resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, and the sporadic isolation of spectinomycin-resistant isolates continues unabated. gonococcal resistance to azithromycin, an antibiotic used for the primary treatment of g ... | 2001 | 11518869 |
| molecular epidemiology of β-lactamase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae strains in manaus, am, brazil. | we report new sequence types of 14 penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae, isolated from sexually transmitted disease clinic attendees in manaus, brazil. they were characterized by wi/wii/wiii groups, susceptibility testing and multi-antigen sequencing typing/mutilocus sequence typing protocols. twelve were classified as wii/iii and 2 as wi and were presented resistance to penicillin and tetracycline. new alleles for por and aroe genes and novel sequence types were identified, revealing m ... | 2013 | 23680903 |
