Neisseria gonorrhoeae: resistencias antimicrobianas y estudio de la dinámica poblacional. Situación en 2011 en Barcelona

NG has developed significant rates of resistance to various antibiotics. One strain has been detected with high level resistance to third generation cephalosporins, and several strains with reduced susceptibility. An increase in MIC50 and MIC90 to these antibiotics has also been observed. NG population structure remains stable and common to the rest of Europe, although two new ST (ST7226 and ST7227) have been identified that could be selected and acquire high levels of resistance to cephalosporins.
