A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p tNeisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae) is a sexually transmitted pathogen popular worldwide with increased trend of resistance to antimicrobial treatment. We conducted this study to trace the antimicrobial susceptibilities of N. gonorrhoeae to penicillin, spectinomycin, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, cefixime and ceftriaxone in Guangxi. Totally 303 NG isolates were sampled from patients infected with N. gonorrhoeae from five cities in Guangxi 2013-2015, and the antibiotic susceptibilities were tested by Agar dilution assay. The results showed that N. gonorrhoeae was susceptible to cephalosporins treatment including ceftriaxone (99.7%), cefixime (99%), spectinomycin (100%), and azithromycin (96.4%), and it was the first report of antibiotic susceptibilities for azithromycin surveillance to N. gonorrhoeae in Guangxi. PPNG with percentage rose from 37% in 2013 to 64% in 2015 (P=0.068), and TRNG rate increased from 23% in 2013 to 44% in 2015 (P = 0.071). High resistance of N. gonorrhoeae to penicillin was associated with infection age of 25 to 30 years (P<0.05) and PPNG positive (P<0.01), and TRNG positive was risk factor for ciprofloxacin resistance (P=0.0407). Our study provides creditable evidences for clinical therapeutic strategies and N. gonorrhoeae infection control and prevention in Guangxi, China.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
