Background

Gonorrhea, which is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, is an important public health problem and is the most common reportable infectious disease. An estimated 700,000 new gonococcal infections occur annually in the United States. Gonorrhea is most frequently spread during sexual contact. However, it can also be transmitted from the mother's genital tract to the newborn during birth, causing ophthalmia neonatorum and systemic neonatal infection.
