Isolation of Neisseria gonorrheae and concomitant bacterial microflora from urine obtained by suprapubic bladder puncture in women with gonococcal urethritis

The authors examined 38 non-pregnant women with gonococcal urethritis. Thirty-three (86.8%) of them suffered also from endocervical gonorrhea. Neisseria gonorrheae (N. go) was isolated from the midstream of urine in a quantity of 1 x 10(2) to 9 x 10(8) in 1 ml of urine with an average of 5.08 x 10(4...

Description
Summary:The authors examined 38 non-pregnant women with gonococcal urethritis. Thirty-three (86.8%) of them suffered also from endocervical gonorrhea. Neisseria gonorrheae (N. go) was isolated from the midstream of urine in a quantity of 1 x 10(2) to 9 x 10(8) in 1 ml of urine with an average of 5.08 x 10(4) N. go per 1 ml of urine and S. E. M. +/- 3.85 x 10(4) N. go per 1 ml of urine. On the basis of suprapubic puncture ascendent propagation of bacteria to the bladder was observed by cultivation in 13 (34.2%) patients, with isolation of N. go in 5 cases.
