Abstract

Resistance to erythromycin, penicillin, tetracycline and ciprofloxacin is common. Decreased susceptibility to ceftriaxone and/or cefixime is now almost 4% and azithromycin resistance is emerging but remains low at 1.2%. These results have informed the gonococcal infection treatment recommendations in the Canadian Guidelines on Sexually Transmitted Infections.
