Non-GISP Susceptibility Reporting

Each year, the Association of Public Health Laboratories and STD project areas are informally surveyed to identify cities or states that routinely perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing of N. gonorrhoeae.

Listed below are annual tables of non-GISP antimicrobial susceptibility testing data for N. gonorrhoeae excerpted from the annual GISP reports:

Non-GISP isolates from most STD project areas do not consist of a representative or systematic sample of the gonorrhea patient population but rather a convenience sample of patients who happen to undergo culture rather than non-culture testing. In addition, in contrast to GISP, multiple non-GISP isolates from various anatomic sites may be submitted from a single patient, so the total number of patients represented with non-GISP data are likely to be fewer than the number of isolates reported.
