Whole-genome sequencing reveals transmission of gonococcal antibiotic resistance among men who have sex with men: an observational study
15 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
Objectives Drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae are now a global public health threat. Direct transmission of antibiotic-resistant gonococci between individuals has been proposed as a driver for the increased transmission of resistance, but direct evidence of such transmission is limited. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has superior resolution to investigate outbreaks and disease transmission compared with...
