Question: is neisseria gonorrhoeae beta lactamase positive?
Answer: gonorrhoeae isolates resistant to thiamphenicol (MIC ≥ 1.0 μg/ml) were beta-lactamase positive. It appears that strains of N. gonorrhoeae from Jakarta which were resistant to thiamphenicol have a greater correlation with PPNG or PPNG-TRNG than with chromosomally mediated resistance to penicillin or tetracycline.
