[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS qR0x9Bko. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We analyzed 265 urethral Neisseria gonorrhoeae specimens collected from symptomatic males at San Francisco's municipal sexually transmitted disease clinic, a participant in the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project, during 2009. We used N. gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence typing to describe characteristics of patients infected with common sequence type families. Specimens were classified into 6 homology-based families and 1 additional family of all other identified strains. Strain family results were combined with results of culture-based antibiotic sensitivity minimum inhibitory concentration, sociodemographic and behavioral risk data collected at the clinic, and presence or absence of the mosaic penicillin-binding protein 2 (penA) allele. Characteristics of patients were compared across strain families through the use of khi2 statistics. Among men who have sex with men, strain distribution differed by those reporting receptive oral sex as their only urethral exposure (P=0.04), by number of sex partners (P=0.03), and by race/ethnicity (P
