The increasing drug resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae has become a serious public health concern. This study investigated N. gonorrhoeae isolates susceptibility to tetracycline antibiotics and the correlation between minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of different antibiotics. The presence of resistance determinants in N. gonorrhoeae strains displaying different levels of tigecycline resistance was also compared.
