INTRODUCTION: Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a major concern of public health due to its extraordinary capacity to develop and acquire resistance to different antimicrobials used to treat gonorrhoea. Limited treatment options and uncontrolled transmission have raised the need to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of the isolates and to establish affordable alternatives for laboratory diagnosis.
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to (i) determine the susceptibility profile of 336 clinical isolates of N. gonorrhoeae to ceftriaxone, azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, spectinomycin and gentamicin by the gold standard agar dilution method; (ii) assess the agreement among agar dilution and disc diffusion results for ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, ceftriaxone, spectinomycin and gentamicin.
RESULTS: All isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone and spectinomycin. The levels of resistance to azithromycin and ciprofloxacin were 3.9% and 35.1%, respectively. Intermediate susceptibility to gentamicin was observed in 19.4% of isolates. There was 100% agreement between methods for spectinomycin and ceftriaxone, 99.7% for ciprofloxacin, and 85.7% for azithromycin. For gentamicin, there was 86.3% agreement between agar dilution and disc diffusion, resulting in intermediate susceptible by one method and susceptible by the other method, defined as minor errors. The discordance among agar dilution and disc diffusion results is acceptable for ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone and spectinomycin as per CLSI M23-Ed4.
CONCLUSIONS: Spectinomycin and gentamicin can be considered in some cases as options for the treatment of gonorrhoea in Brazil. Disc diffusion can be an alternative method in routine testing with comparable accuracy to agar dilution.
