The Mosaic mtr Locus as Major Genetic Determinant of Azithromycin Resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae—Germany, 2018
11 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Within the German Gonococcal Resistance Network's (GORENET) Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) sample collection, azithromycin-resistant NG isolates increased from 4.3% in 2016 to 9.2% in 2018. We aim to understand this observed increase using whole genome sequencing of NG isolates combined with epidemiological and clinical data. Reduced susceptibility to azithromycin in 2018 was predominately clonal (NG multiantigen...
