Our study aimed to assess the efficacy of antimicrobials that could be combined with ceftriaxone to reduce the probability of ceftriaxone resistance emerging and spreading in <i>N. gonorrhoeae</i>.</p><p><strong>Methods and results: </strong>Broth microdilution was used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for a panel of ceftriaxone-resistant (WHO X, Y, Z) and ceftriaxone-susceptible (WHO L, N, P) <i>N. gonorrhoeae</i> WHO reference strains for the following antimicrobials: ceftriaxone, doxycycline, azithromycin, zoliflodacin, fosfomycin, pristinamycin, ramoplanin, gentamicin and NAI-107. The MICs for zoliflodacin and pristinamycin for all strains were lower than or equal to the available breakpoints. A checkerboard assay was used to determine the drug-drug combination effect, which showed either an indifferent or an additive effect for all the combinations tested with ceftriaxone.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The low MICs of zoliflodacin and pristinamycin for the three ceftriaxone-resistant strains suggest that these antimicrobials could be used as partner drugs with ceftriaxone to reduce the probability of ceftriaxone resistance spreading in areas with a high prevalence of ceftriaxone resistance.</p>","PeriodicalId":14408,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of STD & AIDS","volume":" ","pages":"1042-1049"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142119797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
