Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gonorrhea, caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae, is a globally prevalent sexually transmitted infection. The dynamics of gonococcal population biology have been poorly defined due to a lack of resolution in strain typing methods. METHODS: In this study, we assess how the core genome can be used to improve our understanding of gonococcal population structure compared with current typing...
