摘要
Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates continue to develop an impressive arsenal of resistance mechanisms to antimicrobial agents, including resistance to some of the antibiotics presently recommended for the treatment of gonococcal infections. The need for antimicrobial susceptibility monitoring in gonococcal isolates and new, effective, antigonococcal treatments has never been greater. Curr Opin Infect Dis 12:35-40.
