Abstract
- Total 352 materials were obtained from the endocervix of prostitutes residing in Taegu area and 22 cases N, gonorrhoeae were isolated through T-M media culture, oxidase test, carbohydrate degradation test, Gram stain. Following results were obtained : 1. Among 22 isolates, 8 strains showed positive reaction to beta-lactamase test (36.4%). 2. Antimicrobial susceptibility test showed different MIC ranges between PPNG and non-PPNG group to penicillin, ampicillin. But, cephalosporins, quinolone derivatives showed similar MIC range between the PPNG and non-PPNG group. 3. MRH test which was available to detect pili of uropathic E, coli was not useful to evaluate adherence of N. gonorrhoeae. 4. In electrophoregram, 14 strains represented 2.6 megadalton cryptic plasmid and 2 strains of PPNG had both 4.5 and 3.2 megadalton plasmids. Therefore, further study is needed for demonstration of concurrent expression of both type (Asia and Africa) of plasmids.
