Norihiro Kokudo; hereinafter, "NCGM") today announced that they had started a joint
Antibiotic Susceptibility Surveillance Study in Vietnam.
The British Association of Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) have recognised the importance of antibiotic stewardship in their recently updated gonorrhea management guidelines, preferring the use of ciprofloxacin over ceftriaxone if
antibiotic susceptibility results are available prior to treatment.
Therefore, for accurate
antibiotic susceptibility profiles, both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria should have been taken into account and separate culture media should have been used for their isolation.

antibiotic susceptibility in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
All isolates including those confirmed for coag gene through PCR were put to
antibiotic susceptibility by Kirby-Bauer disc method on Muller Hinton agar and interpreted as described by Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI, 2015).
Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines.

Antibiotic susceptibility test: performed by Kirby-Bauer procedure on Muller Hinton agar 14 and results interpreted according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (15)
The test is included on BD Phoenixvgram-negative panels, allowing hospital labs to offer it as part of routine
antibiotic susceptibility testing.
Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed on Mueller-Hinton agar (HiMedia Lab.
