ABSTRACT:   The study population comprised of 269 and 464 cases of non-ulcerative females (>20-50 years) from Ahlone and Thaketa townships respectively. In Ahlone area, different pathogens were isolated from 32 cases (11.20%): Chlamydia trachomatis (1.12%), Candida albicans (2.23%), Trichomonas vaginalis (7.06%), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (0.74%) and mixed infection (C. albicans + T. vaginalis) (0.74%). In Thaketa, 69 cases (14.87%) were infected: C. trachomatis (1.94%), C. albicans (1.72%), T vaginalis (7.54%), N gonorrhoea (2.16%) and mixed infection (N. gonorrhoeae +T. vaginalis 0.86%; C trachomatis vaginalis 0.65%). Antibiotic susceptibility activity of N. gonorrhoeae from Ahlone area revealed that one strain was resistant to all antibiotics tested and another strain was resistant to penicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, however, it was sensitive to spectinomycin, sparfioxacin, kanamycin, cefaclor, ceftriaxone and netilmicin. Fourteen strains of N. gonorrhoeae isolated from Thaketa area were resistant to arnikacin (71.43%), carbenicillin (50%), erythromycin (78.57%), kanamycin (71.43%), penicillin (92.86%), rifampicin (57.14%), septrin ( 85.71%), spectinomycin (14.28%), and vancomycin (42.85%).
