Prostatitis due to penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Case reports.
Complicated infections caused by penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) are uncommon. Of two patients with prostatitis due to PPNG, one was cured by cefoxitin followed by co-trimoxazole, the other by co-trimoxazole alone. The potential of co-trimoxazole in the treatment of PPNG-prostatitis looks promising.
