Serotyping Neisseria gonorrhoeae: a report of the Fourth International Workshop.

An International Workshop was held at Datchet, UK in May 1990 to discuss the serotyping of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The'aim of the workshop was to bring together workers from around the world to exchange information and ideas on current applica- tions of serotyping gonococci. The workshop also aimed to identify problems that have arisen with serotyping, and to facilitate their resolution. Three sessions were held: on the application of serotyping to epidemiology and to antibiotic resistance, and on the methodology of serotyping.
