Quality assurance for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of<i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>in Latin American and Caribbean countries, 2013–2015

Abstract

The participating laboratories had acceptable results, similar to other international quality assurance programmes. It is important to ensure continuation of the International Gonococcal Antimicrobial Susceptibility Quality Control Comparison Programme to ensure that participants can identify and correct any problems in antimicrobial susceptibility testing for <i>N. gonorrhoeae</i> as they arise and continue to generate reproducible and reliable data.
