Susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to Gentamicin-Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project, 2015-2016

Sex Transm Dis. 2018 Feb;45(2):96-98. doi: 10.1097/OLQ.0000000000000693.

Abstract

The gentamicin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates were determined. Seventy-three percent of isolates demonstrated an MIC range of 8 to 16 μg/mL, and 27% demonstrated an MIC of 4 μg/mL or less. Significant associations between gentamicin MIC and resistance or reduced susceptibility to other antimicrobials were found.
