Characterisation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from women with simultaneous infections at two sites.

R C Noble
PMCID: PMC1045716  PMID: 6768419

Abstract

Infection with two strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae was found in paired cultures from 8.7% (6/69) of women who had infections of the cervix, rectum, or urethra. Paired gonococcal cultures from each patient were characterised by auxotyping, susceptibility to four antibiotics, and acrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns of the gonococcal cell proteins.
