“…reported that up to 26.3% of gonorrhea isolates from 148 patients were penicillinase producers and up to 4.7% had chromosome-mediated resistance. 48 Similarly, Conde-Glez et al 49 report gonorrhea strains resistant to spectinomycin, ampicillin, penicillin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, and tetracyclines in frequencies from 9 to 41.3%; however, they do not identify strains resistant to cephalosporins (cefotaxime). 49 The most recent Mexican study was conducted by Escobedo Guerra et al in 2018, which found that up to 10.39% of 60 samples positive for N. Gonorrhoeae had a mutation for reduced susceptibility to antibiotics in the mtrR gene promoting the region of the mtrCDE locus.…”

A review of the most recent and updated literature on the current global situation of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae infections is presented. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Neisseria Gonorrhoeae infection is one of the most important threats of antibiotic resistance in the United States and the world. In 1970 the first reports of resistance by isolating penicillinase-producing strains were identified and more recently, ceftriaxone-resistant N. gonorrhoeae strains have appeared. In Mexico, so far, there are no reports of ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae; however, the first report dates from 1987 where De la Cruz and collaborators reported that up to 26.3% of gonorrhea isolates from 148 patients were penicillinase-producing strains. The emergence of N. Gonorrhoeae strains resistant to relatively modern and very useful antibiotics in daily medical practice raises awareness of the clinical and microbiological landscape in which we find ourselves, that is why alternative therapies such as vaccines and new drugs with antibiotic potential that address emerging resistance need to be considered.

This study supports the continued use of third-generation cephalosporins, spectinomycin, and fluoroquinolone drugs for the primary treatment of gonococcal infections in Manaus. The occurrence of isolates with reduced susceptibility to azithromycin and ciprofloxacin underscores the importance of ongoing antimicrobial susceptibility monitoring to support decisions regarding appropriate drugs for the treatment of gonococcal infections.

: Two countries (Argentina and Uruguay) maintained continuous surveillance during the study period. Some countries gathered data periodically and several others were unable to initiate antimicrobial surveillance as a result of lack of resources. The percentage of penicillin-resistant N. gonorrhoeae isolated in the region over the decade varied considerably (1.0-11.9% carried chromosomal resistance and 17.9-38.8% produced beta-lactamase) with an overall trend to declining numbers of penicillin-resistant isolates. For tetracycline, 7.4% to 36.3% carried chromosomal resistance, whereas 12.0% to 27.4% carried plasmid-mediated resistance. There were no reports of ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates, although N. gonorrhoeae with decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin and azithromycin as well as spectinomycin-resistant isolates were identified in some countries.
