Abstract excerpt
Neisseria gonorrhoeae multiantigen sequence typing (NG-MAST) is a highly discriminatory molecular typing procedure that provides precise and unambiguous strain characterization. Since molecular typing can complement contact tracing for reconstructing gonorrhea sexual networks, the concordance between the NG-MAST genotypes of pairs of N. gonorrhoeae isolates from recent sexual contacts was examined. Among 72 pairs...
