Abstract

ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the antimicrobial susceptibility testing of N.gonorrhoeae isolates from patients was treated at Uttaradit hospital during 2018-2023
Methods: A total of 150 N. gonorrhoeae isolates from patients was treated at Uttaradit Hospital during October 2018 and September 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed by the standard disk diffusion test and E-test method for azithromycin, ceftriaxone, cefixime, ciprofloxacin, penicillin, tetracycline, and spectinomycin. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics such as average, percentage, standard deviation, range of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC range), MIC50 and MIC90.
Results: It was found that the resistance rates of ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and penicillin were 98.0%, 94.0% and 92.0%, respectively. The prevalent rate of multi-drug resistance was also high (86.7%). All isolates were still susceptible to azithromycin with MIC range, MIC50 and MIC90 of ≤0.016-0.25 mg/L, 0.125, and 0.25 mg/L, respectively. The isolates were also susceptible to ceftriaxone and cefixime with low MIC levels. The MIC range, MIC50 and MIC90 of ceftriaxone were ≤0.002-0.125 mg/L, 0.004 and 0.008 mg/L, respectively while the MIC range of cefixime was ≤0.016-0.064 mg/L and MIC50 and MIC90 of <0.016 and 0.016 mg/L, respectively.
Conclusions: The N.gonorrhoeae isolates were not found decreased susceptibility to azithromycin, ceftriaxone and cefixime. This antimicrobial susceptibility surveillance in each hospital is needed for patient management and prevention and control of the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant in the future.
