Quantitative Examination of Antibiotic Susceptibility of <em>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</em> Aggregates Using ATP-utilization Commercial Assays and Live/Dead Staining
Abstract:The emergence of antibiotic resistant Neisseria
gonorrhoeae (GC) is a worldwide health threat and highlights the
need to identify individuals who fail treatment. This Gram-negative bacterium
causes gonorrhea exclusively in humans. During infection, it is able to form
aggregates and/or biofilms. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test is
used for to determine susceptibility to antibiotics and to define appropriate
treatment. However, the mechanism of the eradication in vivo and its
relationship to labor… Show more
