Abstract excerpt
The emergence of resistance to azithromycin complicates treatment of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the etiologic agent of gonorrhea. Substantial azithromycin resistance remains unexplained after accounting for known resistance mutations. Bacterial genome-wide association studies (GWAS) can identify novel resistance genes but must control for genetic confounders while maintaining power. Here, we show that compared to...
