GISP Site Specific Profiles

This report on the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project (GISP), a national sentinel surveillance system that monitors trends in antimicrobial susceptibilities of strains of gonorrhea in the United States among selected sexually transmitted diseases clinics in about 25-30 sentinel sites. This report shows site-specific profiles of figures depicting the demographic and clinical data of the patients with gonorrhea enrolled in GISP and the antimicrobial susceptibility results of the gonorrhea isolates submitted. Data for each GISP sentinel site are presented from the year the program began GISP through the published year. The antimicrobial agents tested for 2008 were ceftriaxone, azithromycin, spectinomycin, ciprofloxacin, penicillin, and tetracycline.
