摘要

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the predominant cause of male urethral discharge in South Africa, and escalating prevalence of gonococcal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major health concern both in-country and globally. We analyzed the demographic, behavioral, and clinical characteristics of 685 men presenting with gonococcal urethral discharge to sentinel surveillance clinics over a 3-year period (2017 to 2019) to determine the burden of factors that are known to be associated with N. gonorrhoeae AMR to first-line therapy (defined as group 1 isolates exhibiting resistance or reduced susceptibility to extended-spectrum cephalosporins or azithromycin). Among 685 men with gonococcal urethral discharge, median age was 28 years (interquartile range IQR, 24 to 32). Only two men (2/632; 0.3) self-identified as homosexual; however, on further enquiry, another 16 (2) confirmed that they had sex with men only. Almost 30 practiced oral sex and were at risk for pharyngeal gonococcal infection. In univariate analysis, male circumcision (odds ratio OR, 0.69; 95 confidence interval CI, 0.49 to 0.99) and recent sex outside the country (OR, 1.83; 95 CI, 1.21 to 2.76) were significantly associated with having a category 1 N. gonorrhoeae isolate. In a multivariable model, only sex outside South Africa increased the odds of being infected with a decreased susceptible/resistant N. gonorrhoeae isolate (adjusted odds ratio aOR, 1.64; 95 CI, 1.05 to 2.55). These findings warrant the intensification of N. gonorrhoeae AMR surveillance among recently arrived migrant and overseas traveler populations, as well as the inclusion of extragenital specimens for N. gonorrhoeae AMR surveillance purposes.
