Abstract
ABSTRACTOne hundred forty-three penicillinase-producingNeisseria gonorrhoeae(PPNG) isolates obtained in Argentina from 2008 and 2012 were examined to detectblaTEM-135genes and to investigate plasmid profiles and multiantigen sequence types. Forty-two PPNG isolates were found to carry TEM-135, and two contained a new TEM derivative characterized as TEM-220. TheblaTEM-135allele was carried by the Toronto/Rio and African plasmids. Molecular epidemiology revealed that twoblaTEM-135isolates were related to previously described isolates from Thailand and China, indicating a common evolutionary origin.
