| 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 |

| outbreak of penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae with an african connection. | previous outbreaks of penicillinase-producing gonococcal infection in the united states have generally been attributed to importation of southeast asian strains. during july 1982 through july 1983, 110 cases of gonorrhea caused by penicillinase-producing strains were reported in metropolitan atlanta, georgia. among the 53 infected women, 14 (26%) had pelvic inflammatory disease (pid). compared to other infected women, those with pid experienced a greater delay from the time of last sexual exposu ... | 1986 | 3085233 |

| an unclassified gram-negative rod isolated from the pharynx on thayer-martin medium (selective agar). | an oxidase-positive, small gram-negative rod was isolated on thayer-martin medium (tm) inoculated with pharyngeal swabs obtained during surveys to detect neisseria carriers. in one survey, this organism was isolated from 48% of the subjects, and 50 or more colonies were present on the majority of the primary isolation plates. other characteristics of the organism, which has been given the provisional designation "tm-1," include: delayed production (2 to 10 days) of acid from glucose, formation o ... | 1972 | 4565636 |

| association of chlamydia trachomatis with persistence of high-risk types of human papillomavirus in a cohort of female adolescents. | human papillomavirus (hpv) infection is a necessary but not sufficient cause of cervical cancer. while chlamydia infection has been associated with cervical cancer, the meaning of this association remains unclear. the authors' objective was to investigate this association by evaluating whether concurrent genital tract infections are associated with hpv persistence, a precursor to cervical cancer. interview data and biologic samples for hpv, chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, trichomon ... | 2005 | 16120706 |

| antimicrobial resistant gonorrhea in atlanta: 1988-2006. | gonococcal isolates (n = 4336) were collected from men with urethritis at the fulton county std clinic between 1988 and 2006. antimicrobial susceptibility was performed by agar dilution. increasing numbers of isolates from men who have sex with men and with fluoroquinolone resistance were noted. new antimicrobials effective against gonorrhea are urgently needed. | 2011 | 21844728 |
