Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens our ability to treat the sexually transmitted bacterial infection gonorrhoea. The increasing availability of whole genome sequence (WGS) data from Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates, however, provides us with an opportunity in which WGS can be mined for AMR determinants. METHODS: Chromosomal and plasmid genes implicated in AMR were catalogued on the PubMLST...
