| Pelvic inflammatory disease, is caused most frequently by sexually transmitted chlamydia or gonococci. |
| Antimicrobial resistance among gonococci is common, either determined by the genes of the organism or by genetic elements which are not part of the chromosome of the organism. |
| Does it mean that no gonococci were present in the patient or that none were present in the sample submitted to the laboratory for culture? |
| The bottom shows uranyl-acetate-stained whole mounts of gonococci. |
| The recent emergence of quinolone resistance among gonococci isolated in South Africa now threatens to undermine the success of the syndromic management approach to date. |
| Bacterial cell morphology was examined using transmission electron microscopy of thin sections and whole mounts of gonococci. |
