Azithromycin resistant gonococci: a literature review
Gonorrhea is the second most common sexually transmitted bacterial infection (STI) next to Chlamydia.
Untreated cases could results in major complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), ectopic pregnancy,
infertility, miscarriage, fetal death and congenital infections. Gonorrhea has been treated with antibiotics for more
than eight decades. However, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in gonococcus seriously
compromises the management of the disease. The aim of this review was to describe the current developments in
the field of azithromycin resistant gonococci.
