Epidemiological typing ofNeisseria gonorrhoeaeand detection of markers associated with antimicrobial resistance directly from urine samples using next generation sequencing

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the potential for next generation sequencing (NGS) to be used directly on clinical specimens that have tested positive for Neisseria gonorrhoeae by nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), to generate information on epidemiological genotyping and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) markers. METHODS: DNA was extracted from 13 N. gonorrhoeae NAAT-positive urine specimens, enriched for...
