A 37-year-old healthy man was admitted with fever, skin rash, migratory arthralgia, and headache without preceding urogenital symptoms. Sexual contact history and positive CSF culture for Neisseria gonorrhoeae using BacT/Alert blood culture bottles were diagnostic for gonococcal meningitis. Multilocus sequence typing of this isolate showed sequence type (ST) 7363, the most predominant ST among ceftriaxone-resistant strains. The isolate from this case remained susceptible to ceftriaxone although it was resistant to penicillin, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin. With the high selective pressure of ceftriaxone for treatment of plasmid-mediated β-lactamase producing N. gonorrhoeae, resistance to ceftriaxone and molecular characteristics should be monitored.
