“…The disc diffusion test, however, also provides valuable information. Unlike Turner et al [7], we believe that one disc strength of 1 IU is adequate for this test: the zones of inhibition in cultures of fully sensitive bacteria are not yet too large, less sensitive strains have inhibition zones between 10 and 20 mm in diameter ( fig. 3), and with peni cillinase-producing strains no inhibition zones at all are observed, as can be seen from table 11.…”

During the first 4 months of 1977, 95 different strains of gonococcus were isolated in the out-patient department of the Dermatology Clinic of the University of Basel. These were systemically tested for sensitivity to penicillin G, spectinomycin, thiamphenicol, doxycycline and rifampicin. The MIC values and the diameter of the zones of inhibition were determined. Tests for β-lactamase production were made. A correlation in the degree of sensitivity was observed between the following antibiotics: penicillin G/rifampicin; penicillin G/thiamphenicol; penicillin G/doxycycline; thiamphenicol/doxycycline; thiamphenicol/rifampicin; doxycycline/rifampicin. The size of the inoculum had little influence on the activity of the substances, except for that of penicillin G against the β-lactamase-positive reference strains. No β-lactamase-producing strains were detected amongst the clinical isolates. In the case of penicillin G, there was a correlation between the minimum inhibitory concentration and the inhibition-zone diameter.

“…About this time a case in a Ghanaian woman was reported from London (Philips, 1976) and between February and August 1976 45 cases of gonococcal infection with penicillinase-producing gonococci were encountered at Liverpool Royal Infirmary, and by October twenty-five others had been noted in the public health laboratories in Liverpool (Turner et al, 1976). Cases were also reported from other parts of the United Kingdom, from Singapore (imported from Thailand), Holland, Germany, Norway, and elsewhere.…”

There are many preparations for the local treatment of candidosis. The confidence expressed by the manufacturers in recommending a three-day treatment is, it is hoped, based on a superior product. Nevertheless there is a need for a safe systemically absorbed fungicide which could be used orally, or some substance that could render the vagina an inhospitable environment for the organism.In the treatment of trichomoniasis the pharmaceutical industry in providing substances more than 90 % effective in a single dose has done all that can be expected. Any further advances lie in the field of human behaviour rather than pharmaceutical research.In the treatment of non-specific genital infection the needs are more of research than of therapy. More knowledge is required of the cause of the condition and the relative role of contending pathogens, and of the results of treatment of patients and contacts in which Chlamydia or other suspect pathogens have been isolated.

“…Penicillinase-producing gonococci appeared in Liverpool in February 1976 (Percival et al, 1976;Turner et al, 1976) and, simultaneously, in the Far East (Ashford et al, 1976). Subsequently, they were recognised in a patient infected in West Africa (Piot, 1977).…”
