- Abstract
The article discusses the trends in cephalosporin susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, focusing on the changes following the guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommending ceftriaxone-based combination therapy as the single recommended therapy. Data from the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project (GISP) from the CDC were analyzed, revealing a decline in reduced prevalence of cefixim susceptibility from 2011 to 2013 and increased in 2014.
