Neisseria gonorrhoeae reference strains for antimicrobial susceptibility testing

Details

• Description:
  (Revised February 2005)
  
  B88
  
  Reference strains listed in this brochure are quality control (QC) strains for the agar-dilution, disk diffusion, and Etest susceptibility procedures used to determine the antimicrobial susceptibilities of isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. These strains may be used to assess the quality of susceptibilities of N. gonorrhoeae isolates to penicillin, tetracycline, spectinomycin, ceftriaxone, cefixime, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, and azithromycin. It is intended that these strains be used in conjunction with strain ATCC 49226 as recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)* for QC of susceptibility testing of gonococcal isolates (1, 2).
