| a reappraisal of the epidemiology of phenotypes of neisseria gonorrhoeae. | we analyzed published data from studies of the epidemiology of gonococcal auxotype/serovar phenotypes in seattle and king county, washington; denver, colorado; and miami and dade county, florida, to determine whether the numbers of new phenotypes were within the ranges of numbers predicted from previous observations in the same populations. for this analysis, we used the model of fisher and good and turing. in all the analyses, the observed number of new species was within the 95% confidence reg ... | 1989 | 2500719 |

| penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae in dade county, florida: evidence of core-group transmitters and the impact of illicit antibiotics. | in 1985, 2,455 cases of infection due to penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae were reported from dade county, florida. these cases represent the largest concentration of ppng infections reported to date in the united states. a zip code-based geographic analysis of morbidity caused by gonorrhea and ppng identified a core area where the percentage of all gonorrhea cases due to ppng was 31-36%. this percentage decreased in a radial pattern outward from the central core. a prospective study ... | 1988 | 3128882 |
| neisseria gonorrhoeae conjunctivitis. an outbreak during an epidemic of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis. | ten patients with gonococcal conjunctivitis were examined during an epidemic of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (ahc). eye cultures in all cases demonstrated neisseria gonorrhoeae, and seven also had isolates of n gonorrhoeae in genital specimens. all patients responded well to antimicrobial therapy. the patients had used a folk remedy in which they had applied urine to their eyes to treat the symptoms of ahc. | 1983 | 6308287 |

| penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae in california. report of a major outbreak and control recommendations. | a major outbreak of penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae occurred in california beginning in late 1986. after a state public health emergency was declared in april 1987, a statewide, cooperative federal-state-local treatment and control program was implemented. it was successful in reducing the reported incidence by 59%. despite the success of this effort, penicillinase-producing n gonorrhoeae is not controlled in california, and, while not nearly the magnitude reported in florida, an i ... | 1989 | 2511667 |

| trends in resistance of neisseria gonorrhoeae to antimicrobial agents in the united states. | resistance of neisseria gonorrhoeae to antimicrobial agents is increasing in the united states. the number of cases of gonorrhea caused by beta-lactamase-producing strains of n. gonorrhoeae (ppng) increased for the second consecutive year, and 16,608 were reported in 1986; these accounted for greater than 1.6% of all cases of gonorrhea. ppng is endemic in florida, new york city, and los angeles, and these areas may serve as foci for spread of ppng strains in the united states. in 1985 n. gonorrh ... | 1988 | 3147524 |
| penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae in dade county, florida: phenotypic characterization of isolates from 1983, 1984, and 1986. | penicillinase-producing strains of neisseria gonorrhoeae (ppng) have been endemic in miami, florida, since 1981. strains of ppng isolated in miami during 1983 (60 isolates), 1984 (41 isolates), and 1986 (107 isolates) were characterized by plasmid content, auxotype/serovar (a/s) class, and susceptibility to antimicrobial agents. in 1986, 95 isolates (89%) possessed the 3.2-megadalton (mda) beta-lactamase plasmid; 36 (34%) of these isolates also possessed the 24.5-mda conjugative plasmid. these r ... | 1988 | 3147521 |
