Abstract

Laboratory methods for the isolation and identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae are updated. The antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the gonococcus are changing and becoming less predictable. Methods for monitoring susceptibility are presented. The use of serotyping, auxotyping, and molecular techniques to characterize gonococcal isolates and the epidemiological applications are reviewed.
