title: [Rapid screening for beta lactamase of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in pus from blennorrhagia].
abstract: The authors have evaluated in an isolated post, a method for rapid detection of penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae in urethral exudates. This method, easy to use and not very expensive, offers a good sensitivity, and could help in making for the therapeutic decision and in the epidemiological surveillance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae's resistance to penicillin.
