Neisseria gonorrhoeae
the etiologic agent for the sexually transmitted infection
gonorrhoea
2
•
Second most common bacterial STD in France
as in US
•
Around 75% of all reported cases in 15-29 year
old age group
•
High prevalences reported from non-genital
sites among MSM (oropharynx & rectum)
•
Usually symptomatic in males, often
asymptomatic in women
•
Can cause PID, infertility, ectopic pregnancy,
and complications in pregnancy in women

Treatment
Depending of the national guidelines
• 1940s = Penicillin effective treatment
• 1970s = Penicillin resistance develops secondary to
acquisition of plasmid for penicillinase
• Since 1972, CDC has recommended treatment with third
generation cephalosporin or fluoroquinolones (SD)
• Increase in chromosomally acquired multi-resistance to
antibiotics
• In New Caledonia, N.gonorrhoeae were susceptible to
penicillin
•

Benzylpenicillin, metronidazole and azithromycin

Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance
• Alteration of the target site
• Reduction of the affinity for the antibiotic
• Access of the antibiotic to the target site
• Reduced permeability of the cell envelope
• Active export of antibiotics
• Destruction of the antibiotic

Real-Time Multiplex PCR Assay
• Detection of NG from clinical samples within 2hrs
• Combined detection of penA and ponA genotypes
• ponA mutation = T to C substitution
(CMI ≥ 1 mg/ml)
• penA mutation = additional aspartic acid (Asp-345A)
codon (CMI ≥ 0.03 mg/ml)
• Correlation with Phenotypes obtained by E-test
• Status of N.gonorrhoeae strains in New Caledonia
• LightCycler: additional advantage

Sample
Material of interest (tissue, cells, blood etc.)
Target
Nucleic acid of interest (specific RNA or DNA sequence)
Reference
Nucleic acid that is found at a constant copy number in all samples (=
endogenous control) The reference is used for normalization of sampleto-sample differences (nucleic acid quality and quantity).
Housekeeping gene
For mRNA quantification in gene expression
studies.
A gene that is expressed constitutively on an identical level in all samples to
be analyzed.
Calibrator
21
A sample that is used for normalization of the final results. The calibrator is
positive for target and reference, and must have a constant expression
ratio of target to reference.
