how long does neisseria gonorrhea live outside the body? from the information that is available i can find no published papers to say what the lifespan of neissria gonorrhea can survive. the information says it can't survive for long. how long? the discha

Accepted Answer

Neisseria : Neisseria gonorrhea do not live outside of the body.   They are transmitted cell-to-cell.  They are an intracellular organism.  When they come in contact with a new cell, they attach to the cell membrane and are transmitted.  Therefore, you can't get gonorrhea by touching a toilet or tabletop for example.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Std and death: In 2012 that would be surprising....Testing is wide spread and antibiotics are cheap....

Question 6

what is the definition or description of: neisseria gonorrhea infection?

Accepted Answer

Infection: Infection by neiserria gonorrhea, also known as gonococcus, is an std with symptoms that range from the classic urethritis with discharge to pelvic inflammatory disease (in women) to disseminated gonococcal infection, causing nontraumatic arthritis and rash.  Treatment is usually with a third generation cephalosporin like ceftriaxone.

Question 7

my baby had pus that covered her eyes and the general practitioner said it's neisseria gonorrhea that she might've contracted from me during the c-section but i was never diagnosed with gonorrhea or tested for it. should i get myself tested?

Accepted Answer

Test and treat: Gonorrhea of the eyes (ophthalmia neonatorum, gonococcal conjunctivitis) is unusual after C-section, mainly from vaginal delivery. Make sure baby tested positive for gonorrhea; other eye infections can appear identical. If gonorrhea confirmed or uncertain, for sure you need to be tested and treated for gonorrhea, even if your own test is negative. Your sex partner(s) also need treatment.

Question 8

what this mean chlamydia trachomatis+neisseria gonorrhoeae rrna

Accepted Answer

More info needed: I think you have not provided the complete lab report. "RRNA" doesn't make much sense. Get in touch with the doctor or clinic who ordered the test. (Both gonorrhea and chlamydia are uncommon at your age [41 yr]).

Question 9

swab test says few leucocytes, numerous gram positive bacilli, scant gram negative bacilli. no pathogens isolated, n.gonorrhea not isolated. meaning?

Accepted Answer

See below: In the absence of symptoms (urethral discharge, burning, itching), numerous gram positive bacilli usually just represents normal bacterial skin flora and clinically insignificant. Whereas many leukocytes (white blood cells) would suggest some type of infection or inflammation, a few leukocytes is non-specific and may just represent a normal finding.

Question 10

i was given a 1 gram dose of azithromicin, and 10 days of cefdinir 300mg twice per day to treat a possible exposure to gonorrhea. is this suitable? seemed iffy to me. still awaiting lab results.

Accepted Answer

Treatment for GC: The CDC ( Centers for Disease Control) recommended treatment for outpatient treatment of gonorrhea (GC) is ceftriaxome  250 mg injection plus azithromycin 1 gram orally. If ceftriaxone is not available, cefixime 400 mg orally in a single dose is the recommended alternative.
