ABSTRACT Surveillance of antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae showed a decrease the percentage β-lactamase-producing isolates but an increase intermediately penicillin-resistant strains and resistant to high level tetracycline. MICs for ciprofloxacin-resistant that emerged increased, these had mutations gyrA parC similar those observed Far East.
