Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Gonorrhoea remains a global public health problem and the treatment options are diminishing through the emergence of gonococci resistant to most antimicrobials. Previous in vitro studies have indicated a role for Neisseria gonorrhoeae pilQ alterations in conferring resistance to antimicrobials, including penicillin. In this study, we investigated whether pilQ polymorphisms were associated with...
