The Results of Monitoring of Antibacterial Resistance of N. Gonorrhoeae for 2018
The article presents the results of a clinical study conducted in 2018 to determine the antibiotic resistance indicators for N. gonorrhoea strains in Belarus. Thirty-six (36) cultures of N. gonorrhoeae were included in the works: thirty-four (34) cultures were isolated from patients clinical material in the bacteriological laboratory of the Mogilev Regional Dermatovenerologic Dispensary and two (2) cultures from the Vitebsk Regional Dermatovenerologic Dispensary. All samples were obtained from the cervical canal in women or the urethra in men, with an established diagnosis of gonorrhea. Men concluded 23 persons equal to 63.8%, and women 13 equal to 36.1%. The average age of patients was 25.6±1.15 (M±SD) years. The susceptibility to ceftriaxone, cefixime, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, spectinomycin, benzylpenicillin, tetracycline and gentamicin was determined using the E-test for determination of the minimum inhibitory concentrations. Recommendations on the use of certain antimicrobial agents in the treatment of gonorrhea are based on data obtained.
