Antibiotic resistance detection is essential for gonorrhoea point-of-care testing: A mathematical modelling study
Antibiotic resistance is threatening to make gonorrhoea untreatable. Point-of-care (POC) tests that detect resistance promise individually tailored treatment, but might lead to more treatment and higher levels of resistance. We investigate the impact of POC tests on antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea. We used data about the prevalence and incidence of gonorrhoea in men who have sex with men (MSM) ...

BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistance is threatening to make gonorrhoea untreatable. Point-of-care (POC) tests that detect resistance promise individually tailored treatment, but might lead to more treatment and higher levels of resistance. We investigate the impact of POC tests on antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea. METHODS We used data about the prevalence and incidence of gonorrhoea in men who hav...
متن کاملAnalysis of the potential for point-of-care test to enable individualised treatment of infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant and susceptible strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae: a modelling study
OBJECTIVE To create a mathematical model to investigate the treatment impact and economic implications of introducing an antimicrobial resistance point-of-care test (AMR POCT) for gonorrhoea as a way of extending the life of current last-line treatments. DESIGN Modelling study. SETTING England. POPULATION Patients accessing sexual health services. INTERVENTIONS Incremental impact of int...
متن کاملExploring the Benefits of Molecular Testing for Gonorrhoea Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance in Remote Settings
BACKGROUND Surveillance for gonorrhoea antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is compromised by a move away from culture-based testing in favour of more convenient nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) tests. We assessed the potential benefit of a molecular resistance test in terms of the timeliness of detection of gonorrhoea AMR. METHODS AND FINDINGS An individual-based mathematical model was devel...
متن کاملDetection of Antibiotic Resistance Pattern of Isolated Bacteria from a Hospital
Background & Aims of the Study: Antibiotic resistance is an important problem in health care. The aim of this study was the survey of prevalence of bacteria isolated in a university affiliated hospital (Kerman, Iran) and detection of antibiotic resistance among major pathogens. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, during a 3-year period (from June 2006 to June 2009) 14699 sa...
