What is the major concern regarding the treatment of gonococci infections?
a. Development of antibiotic resistance
c. Changes in pathogenicity
b. Changes in virulence
d. Mutations into different strains - correct answer ANS: A
Several types of drug-resistant strains have been identified; they are penicillinase-
producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG), which is resistant to penicillin; tetracycline-
resistant N. gonorrhoeae (TRNG), which is resistant to tetracycline; chromosomal
control of mechanisms of resistance of N. gonorrhoeae (CMRNG), which is resistant to
penicillin and tetracycline; and increasingly a fluoroquinolone-resistant N.
gonorrhoeae (QRNG). The other options are not major concerns.
