The association between azithromycin failure and sexual partners from Asia may be clinically relevant, given the high levels of antimicrobial drug resistance reported in other sexually transmitted infections such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections in Asia, and the higher failure rates seen in homosexual men, while not statistically significant, may represent a core-group effect. Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis are the nation's most prevalent bacterial sexually transmitted infections, and females aged 15-19 are at higher risk than those of other ages. When it infects the cervix or urethra, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium behind gonorrhea, fails to produce symptoms in many women. |
