ABSTRACT
The recent emergence of spectinomycin resistant penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) and the high prevalence of PPNG strains among the gonococcal isolates in Seoul represent a grave challenge to the programme for controlling sexually transmitted disease (STD). Fifty men with uncomplicated gonococcal urethritis caused by PPNG strains were treated with a single intramuscular injection of 1 g cefoperazone. Forty two patients were followed up. All patients recovered including three who became reinfected and required further treatment. Two patients (4.8%) developed postgonococcal urethritis (PGU). The MIC90 of cefoperazone measured by an agar dilution susceptibility test was 0.12 mg/l.
