Abstract
With treatment options for gonorrhea diminishing, the isolation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains with reduced susceptibilities to the newer cephalosporins represents a worrying trend that requires monitoring and investigation. Mutations in the penA gene encoding the penicillin-binding protein 2 (Keywords
