Determining antimicrobial resistance profiles and identifying novel mutations of Neisseria gonorrhoeae genomes obtained by multiplexed MinION sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. To cure infection and prevent transmission, timely and appropriate antimicrobial therapy is necessary. Unfortunately, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the etiological agent of gonorrhea, has acquired nearly all known mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), thereby compromising the efficacy of antimicrobial therapy. Treatment failure...
