Percentage of urethral Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates with reduced cefixime susceptibility (minimum inhibitory concentrations ≥0.25 μg/ml) or reduced ceftriaxone susceptibility (minimum inhibitory concentrations ≥0.125 μg/ml) by year, Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project, 2006–2014. NOTE: cefixime susceptibility not tested in 2007 and 2008 MIC=minimum inhibitory concentration Trend of percentage with elevated cefixime MICs from 2006–2011 (p<0.001); 2011–2013 (p<0.001), 2013–2014 (p=0.02 by chi-square) Trend of percentage with elevated ceftriaxone MICs from 2006–2011 (p<0.001); 2011–2013 (p<0.001), 2013–2014 (p=0.13 by chi-square)
