Abstract
A study of 27 clinical specimens from which Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Candida albicans were isolated simultaneously indicated that 44% of the gonococcal isolates were resistant to inhibition by the C. albicans with which they were found and an additional 33% were totally resistant to inhibition by all C. albicans tested. All 27 C. albicans showed inhibitory activity against standard indicator strains of N. gonorrhoeae.
