Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea remains a public health concern for becoming resistant to drug treatments available. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to identify and cluster Neisseria gonorrhoeae. From a current monitoring in Italy, as part of the European Gonococcal...
