RESUMEN
Resumen Neisseria gonorrhoeae es un diplococo gramnegativo, no móvil, esporulado, aerobio o anaerobio facultativo, catalasa y oxidasa positivas. Las infecciones de transmisión sexual causadas por este microorganismo son un problema de salud pública definido como tal desde el siglo XIX, representando una gran amenaza para la salud humana debido a la su alta prevalencia y multirresistencia a antimicrobianos. En las últimas décadas han aumentado los reportes de cepas resistentes a penicilina, fluoroquinolonas, sulfonamidas, tetraciclina, macrólidos, y más recientemente a cefalosporinas y azitromicina. Tal panorama ha generado preocupación a nivel mundial, debido al aumento de casos de gonorrea asociados a cepas multirresistentes. En Chile se desarrolló desde el 2010 hasta el 2018 el Programa de Vigilancia de N. gonorrhoeae a nivel nacional con el objeto de caracterizar esta infección en las regiones y registrar la resistencia a los antimicrobianos. Esta revisión presenta un análisis sistemático bibliográfico, actualizado, de los principales aspectos de este microorganismo, su respuesta a antimicrobianos, y entrega pautas de diagnóstico y tratamiento, a la espera de avanzar en la comprensión del mecanismo molecular y las interacciones metabólicas e inmunológicas que determinan la infección, con miras a diseñar una vacuna efectiva.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a nonmotile, sporulated, aerobic or facultative anaerobic gram-negative diplococcus, catalase and oxidase positive. Sexually transmitted infections caused by this microorganism were established as public health problem since the 19th century, representing a great threat to human health due to its high prevalence and multi-resistance to antimicrobials. In recent decades, reports of strains resistant to penicillin, fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides, tetracycline, macrolides, and more recently to cephalosporins and azithromycin have increased. Such a panorama has generated concern worldwide, due to the increase in cases of gonorrhea associated with multi-resistant strains. In Chile, from 2010 to 2018, the National Surveillance Program for N. gonorrhoeae was developed in order to characterize this infection in the regions and record antimicrobial resistance. This review presents an updated, systematic bibliographic analysis of the main aspects of this microorganism, its response to antimicrobials, and provides diagnostic and treatment guidelines, while waiting to advance in the understanding of the molecular mechanism and the metabolic and immunological interactions that determine infection, with a view to designing an effective vaccine.
