Abstract: Objective To study the changes of susceptibilities of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to antibiotics in Chengdu area.Methods The MIC values of 12 antibiotics to 100 strains in 1991 and 100 strains in 1996 were determined,and the MIC values to PPNG and non-PPNG strains were also compared.Results and Conclusion The MIC values of 6 antibiotics (including penicillin G,tetracycline,etc.) to the isolates in different periods changed significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and among them the values of MIC50 of penicillin G and norfloxacin in 1996 had a 63 fold increase over those in 1991.Moreover,there was a difference in MIC values between PPNG and non-PPNG strains.

Key words: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Microbial sensitivity tests
