For testing the susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to enoxacin, a proposed susceptibility category includes strains for which MICs are less than or equal to 0.5 micrograms/ml and zones of inhibition are greater than or equal to 32 mm in diameter. Because of the sparcity of resistant gonococci, a resistance category was not defined, but laboratory-selected resistant mutants were appropriately categorized by the proposed criteria. A review of clinical data confirmed the utility of a single 400-mg oral dose of enoxacin for treating gonorrhea caused by strains judged to be susceptible by the proposed criteria. For quality control purposes, for N. gonorrhoeae ATCC 49226 MICs should be 0.016 to 0.06 micrograms/ml and zones of inhibition should be 43 to 51 mm in diameter.

The aim was to map evidence on the quality of records in the Mortality Information System (SIM) through a national scoping review of articles published up to April 2023 across five databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, LILACS, and SciELO). Studies focused on specific causes of death were excluded. Dimensions evaluated included accessibility, methodological clarity, coverage, completeness, reliability, consistency, non-duplication, timeliness, validity, and studies on ill-defined causes/garbage codes.

This study aimed to understand the impact of municipal basic sanitation policies and plans on the rate of access to drinking water and sewage services. For this, data were collected from the 853 municipalities of Minas Gerais regarding the provision of sanitation, as well as socioeconomic, quality of life and demographic indicators, treated with the t-test techniques for differences between means and Propensity Score Matching. The results revealed the need for greater sanitation planning in the state since a significant portion of municipalities do not have formal planning instruments for the sector.
