Summary
Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) infections are common and increasing in incidence. Treatment with a third generation cephalosporin, i.e ceftriaxone 1g, single dose, intramuscular (IM), is recommended as a first line treatment. Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with high impact on the intestinal microbiota associated with the acquisition of multidrug-resistant bacteria, particularly extended spectrum beta lactamase producing Enterobacteracerales (ESBL-E). Among populations at high risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI), the colonization rate of ESBL-E is particularly high, up to 30%, implying (i) a risk of transmission within the community and (ii) a risk of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms, which are difficult to treat. Temocillin, a narrow-spectrum antibiotic is known for its low ecological impact, appears to be a highly promising option. Ng strains currently circulating in France appear to be sensitive to it. Thus, temocillin could be as effective as ceftriaxone to treat Ng infections while avoiding the deleterious impact of broad-spectrum β-lactams on the acquisition of multidrug-resistant bacteria by patients
