摘要:
Neisseria gonorrhoeae was cultured from the cervix, pharynx and blood stream of an 18-year-old woman who had a disseminated gonococcal infection. Two different phenotypes of N.gonorrhoeae, distinguished on the basis of their protein 1 serovar, whole-cell protein profile, lectin-type and antibiotic susceptibility, were isolated from both the cervix and pharynx, whereas only one of these phenotypes was isolated from the blood. This finding stresses the importance of blood cultures as a prelude to determining appropriate antimicrobial therapy in cases of disseminated gonococcal infection.
