The NRC was incorporated into the WHO Gonococcal Antimicrobial Susceptibility Programme (GASP) for the Americas and the Caribbean in 1993 and since then the methodology has been standardised. From January 1993 to June 2000, the NRC determined the MICs of 1194 NG strains by the agar dilution method with the media, conditions, and controls as recommended by the NCCLS. … |
