Gonococcal Infection, Immunity, and Resistance

Genomic analyses of Neisseria gonorrhoeae reveal an association of the gonococcal genetic island with antimicrobial resistance

OBJECTIVES Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens our ability to treat the sexually transmitted bacterial infection gonorrhoea. The increasing availability of whole genome sequence (WGS) data from Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates, however, provides us with an opportunity in which WGS can be mined for AMR determinants. METHODS Chromosomal and plasmid genes implicated in AMR were catalogued on ...

Antimicrobial resistance in gonococci, WHO Western Pacific Region, 1996. The WHO Western Pacific Region Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme.

The World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific Region Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme is a multicentric long term programme for continuous surveillance of the antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In 1996 the programme examined the susceptibility of 8,421 isolates of gonococci to various antimicrobials in 17 focal points. A trend toward increased resistance...
