Gonococcal resistance to currently used antibiotics was low and there was a high clinical cure rate.

National STI programs should be more women-friendly for effective management, prevention and control of STIs. Laboratories must adopt more reliable susceptibility testing methods, the Minimum Inhibition Concentration method.
