The results suggest that analysis of urethral isolates for gonococcal antimicrobial susceptibility among men reporting sex exclusively with women is likely to adequately represent susceptibility of urogenital Neisseria gonorrhea infections among women. Given the potential threat of drug resistance and limited treatment options, local examination for N. gonorrhea antimicrobial susceptibility will become increasingly important to local and regional treatment guidelines.
