The isolation of H. ducreyi in Singapore
Abstract
Using an enriched medium, H. ducreyi was isolated from 56 out of 670 patients with penile ulcers (8.3%). Their clinical, epidemiological characteristics and treatment responses to streptomycin, cotrimoxazole and other antimicrobial agents are analysed. 51% failed to respond to streptomycin.
