Abstract: <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>resistant to high levels of spectinomycin (more than 2,048 μg/ml), were isolated from specimens obtained from a patient with urethritis. The bacterial resistance to spectinomycin is probably due to ribosomal changes that are a result of a chromosomal mutation. If spectinomycin fails to cure gonorrhea, spectinomycin resistance should be considered. (<i>JAMA</i>237:2405-2406, 1977)
