UPDATED RECOMMENDED TREATMENT REGIMENS FOR GONOCOCCAL INFECTIONS AND ASSOCIATED
CONDITIONS - UNITED STATES, APRIL 2007
Ongoing data from CDC 's Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project (GISP),
including preliminary findings from 2006, demonstrate that
fluoroquinolone-resistant gonorrhea is continuing to spread and is now
widespread in the United States. As a consequence, and as reported in the MMWR,
April 13, 2007, this class of antibiotics is no longer recommended for the
treatment of gonorrhea in the United States. Treatment recommendations have been
updated accordingly, and are provided at the link below:
