Establishment of a Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme, in Accordance With World Health Organization Standards, in Côte d'Ivoire, Western Africa, 2014–2017

Conclusions We provide the first gonococcal AMR data, quality assured according to World Health Organization standards, from Côte d'Ivoire since more than 20 years. The high ciprofloxacin resistance, which informed a revision of the national syndromic management guideline during study, and relatively high resistance to azithromycin demand an improved gonococcal antimicrobial surveillance program and increased awareness when prescribing treatment in Côte d'Ivoire.
