Sensitivity pattern and beta-lactamase screening of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains isolated in Zaria, Northern Nigeria.

One hundred and sixty strains of N. gonorrhoeae were studied for their in-vitro sensitivity to six different antimicrobial agents and tested for beta-lactamase production in Zaria, Northern Nigeria. While 82% of strains were sensitive to erythromycin, 70% to tetracycline and 61% to chloramphenicol, only 35%, 33% and 24% were sensitive to ampicillin, penicillin and streptomycin respectively. Penicillin is no more the drug of choice in the treatment of gonorrhoea in this environment since two thirds of strains are either partially resistant or completely resistant to penicillin and 44% of strains are beta-lactamase producers. Erythromycin/tetracycline are recommended as the drugs of choice.

Chancroid in Nigeria.

The present paper records the incidence of chancroid in northern Nigeria. Out of 776 new patients registered at the Special Treatment Clinic (STC) of the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) Zaria during February to August 1982, 34 cases (4.38%) were diagnosed as chancroid. Direct smear examination for Haemophilus ducreyi was positive in 33 cases and bacterial bodies devoid of cell wall (probably L-forms of H. ducreyi) were demonstrated in one. Culture for H. ducreyi was positive in only three cases. All the patients responded to co-trimoxazole and tetracyclines.

Rabies virus infection of a flying fox bat, Pteropus policephalus in Chandigarh, Northern India.

The present communication reports for the first time in South East Asia an active infection of frugivorous flying fox bat (Pteropus poliocephalus) with a virus belonging to the Rhabdo virus group -- a bat virus. Negri body like structures were demonstrated by Seller's stain and direct immunofluorescence in the brain and salivary gland of the dead bat. The virus was isolated after intracerebral inoculation of homogenate of the bat brain, salivary gland or brown fat separately in new born mice.
