Abstract
Recently the prevalence of strains of penicillinase-producing N. gonorrhoeae (PPNG) in the Netherlands has increased. A study of demographic and clinical data from patients with gonorrhea due to PPNG strains and of the biological characteristics of the strains isolated in Rotterdam shows that Asian strains of PPNG are presently endemic in the Netherlands. Spectinomycin was effective in the treatment of patients with gonorrhea due to PPNG strains.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
