Resistance to cefixime, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin and penicillin G by patient characteristics Euro-GASP 2013
During 2013, the European Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme (Euro-GASP) followed the biannual decentralised and centralised testing model used in previous years, requesting participating laboratories to collect gonococcal isolates during two periods (April/May and October/November). Twenty-one countries participated in the gonococcal antimicrobial resistance external quality assessment (EQA) scheme and the EQA continued to show high comparability between participants, raising confidence in the quality and comparability of the gonococcal antimicrobial susceptibility testing in Euro-GASP.
