| susceptibility of penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae in ibadan to cefoxitin. | the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of fourteen strains of penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae (ppng) isolated in ibadan to cefoxitin has been determined and compared with that of other antibiotics, viz. penicillin, ampicillin, thiamphenicol, spectinomycin, erythromycin and oxytetracycline. all the strains show high-level resistance to penicillin and ampicillin and the mic of cefoxitin ranged from 0.5 to 16.0 micrograms/ml, with 71% of the strains having an mic of 1.0 microgram/ ... | 1984 | 6099976 |
| plasmid profile of neisseria gonorrhoeae in nigeria and efficacy of spectinomycin in treating gonorrhoea. | the prevalence of penicillinase producing neisseria gonorrhoeae (ppng) strains has been steadily rising in nigeria since 1979, and now about 80% of the strains of gonococci isolated in ibadan are found to produce penicillinase. spectinomycin has consequently become widely used in treating these infections. to ascertain the emergence of spectinomycin resistance, this study was undertaken to assess the in vivo susceptibilities of gonococcal strains to spectinomycin and other common antibiotics. fi ... | 1987 | 2950045 |
