We describe the development of the Australian gonococcal surveillance programme from February 1979 to July 1982. Participants in the programme were the major public health laboratories in each state, which perform quantitative sensitivity tests on about 5400 strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae yearly. Participating laboratories conducted sensitivity tests by a standardised technique which is described, and the results from each centre were collated quarterly. Temporal and regional differences in gonococcal sensitivity patterns were noted and, in the twelve months ending June 1982, there was a trend towards a decrease in gonococci sensitive to penicillin. Increasing numbers of penicillinase producing gonococci were found, and the isolation rates of these strains varied in different regions at different times.
我们描述了1979年2月至1982年7月澳大利亚淋球菌监测项目的发展情况。该项目的参与者是每个州的主要公共卫生实验室,这些实验室每年对约5400株淋病奈瑟菌进行定量药敏试验。参与实验室采用一种已描述的标准化技术进行药敏试验,每个中心的结果每季度进行整理。记录了淋球菌药敏模式的时间和地区差异,在截至1982年6月的十二个月里,对青霉素敏感的淋球菌有减少的趋势。发现产青霉素酶的淋球菌数量不断增加,这些菌株的分离率在不同地区和不同时间有所不同。
