AB A cohort of 650 prostitutes from Kinshasa, Zaire, was followed at
monthly intervals for sexually transmitted diseases as part of an HIV
intervention project. Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates, obtained during a
period of 30 months, were auxotyped, serotyped and tested for
antimicrobial susceptibility. Among 1085 gonococcal isolates tested, 725
(67%) produced beta-lactamase (PPNG) and 323 (30%) showed
plasmid-mediated resistance to tetracyline (TRNG). Over time, the
prevalence of PPNG varied between 60 and 73%, while the level of TRNG
increased from 11 to 45%.
