Prevalence of and Associated Risk Factors for Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae in California, 2000-2003

Abstract

The emergence and spread of QRNG in California appeared to evolve from sporadic importation to endemic transmission among both MSM and heterosexuals. Monitoring of both the prevalence of and risk factors for QRNG infections is critical for making treatment recommendations and for developing interventions to interrupt transmission.
