Abstract
In light of increasing reports of extended-spectrum cephalosporin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the Pan American Health Organization / World Health Organization (PAHO / WHO) recommends Member States to strengthen surveillance and laboratory diagnostic capacity in order to support the detection of cases, provide adequate treatment, and identify populations at high risk. Furthermore, prevention and timely management of cases are essential measures to mitigate antimicrobial resistance.
 
Ante el número creciente de infecciones por Neisseria gonorrhoeae con resistencia a las cefalosporinas de espectro extendido, la Organización Panamericana de la Salud / Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) recomienda a los Estados Miembros fortalecer la vigilancia y la capacidad de diagnóstico de laboratorio para apoyar la detección de casos, proporcionar el tratamiento indicado e identificar las poblaciones en alto riesgo. Además, recuerda que la prevención y el manejo adecuado de casos constituyen la medida esencial para mitigar la resistencia a los antimicrobianos.
