Only gentamicin, rifampicin, and azithromycin were active against the test pathogen (Figure 1).
The random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction fingerprint pattern for three Neisseria gonorrhoea strains isolated from urethral discharge (lanes 1, 4, 7, 10, 13), ocular swab (lane 2, 5, 8, 11, 14), and blood (lane 3, 6, 9, 12, 15) using five sets of arbitrary primers including IT3, VIM-f, Bla NDM-1R, D8635, and D11344. DNA Ladder: 50 bp.

However, the strain isolated from blood showed different pattern confirming that pathogenesis was due to two different strains of N. gonorrhoeae (Figure 2).
