Antimicrobial Susceptibility and b-Lactamase Production in Strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae Isolated in Patients from the University Hospital “Dr. Manuel Núñez Tovar”, Monagas State-Venezuela
In order to determine the patterns of antimicrobial susceptibility and beta-lactamase production, 60 patients with sexually transmitted diseases were studied from the University Hospital “Dr. Manuel Nuñez Tovar” jurisdiction in Monagas State. Thirty-five N. gonorrhoeae strains (58,30%) were isolated...
