We have recently reported high levels of fluoroquinolone resistance in a single region of Kenya. In this article, we report high prevalence of fluoroquinolone resistance (53.2%) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates from 4 clinics in 3 additional regions of Kenya. These findings highlight the need to change first-line treatment in these settings and the need to evaluate empirical management guidelines for treatment of gonococcal infection in Kenya.
我们最近报道了肯尼亚单一地区氟喹诺酮类药物耐药率很高。在本文中,我们报告了肯尼亚另外三个地区的 4 家诊所分离的淋病奈瑟菌中氟喹诺酮类药物耐药率(53.2%)很高。这些发现强调了需要在这些环境中改变一线治疗方法,并需要评估肯尼亚淋病感染经验性治疗管理指南。
