Objectives: Characterizing the molecular epidemiology of antibiotic resistance is crucial for a better understanding of the evolution and spread of resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Here, we examine the molecular epidemiology of penicillinase-producing N. gonorrhoeae (PPNG) isolates in France.

Two extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates were discovered among 6,340 (0.03%) French isolates between 2010 and 2014. One isolate corresponded to the F89 multidrug-resistant N.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and mechanisms of azithromycin resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae French isolates from 2013 to 2014.
Methods: N. gonorrhoeae samples isolated in a network of laboratories were tested for susceptibility to azithromycin between April 2013 and March 2014.

We report the first case in France of a high-level azithromycin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 96 mg/L) assigned to MLST7363 (NG-MAST ST6360), also resistant to ciprofloxacin and tetracycline but susceptible to ceftriaxone. The patient was a 51 year-old heterosexual man who returned following 1g azithromycin monotherapy. Mechanisms of azithromycin resistance were a C2599T mutation in the four copies of the rrl gene and a novel mutation in the promoter of the mtrR gene.
