Low Macrolide and Fluoroquinolone Susceptibility in Non-pathogenic Neisseriae in the General Belgian Population and STI Clinic Attendees
Purpose: STI clinic clients frequently receive antibiotics to treat sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This may select for antibiotic resistance among their commensal microbiota. We hypothesized that non-pathogenic oropharyngeal neisseriae of men who have sex with men (MSM) are less susceptible to antibiotics than those of the general population.
