Gonococcal Genetic Island in the Global Neisseria gonorrhoeae Population: A Model of Genetic Diversity and Association with Resistance to Antimicrobials
10 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
The aim of this work was to study the genetic diversity of the gonococcal genetic island (GGI) responsible for the type IV secretion system (T4SS) and the association of a functionally active GGI with antimicrobial resistance. An analysis of the GGI in a sample of 14,763 genomes of N. gonorrhoeae isolates from the Pathogenwatch database collected in 1996–2019 from 68 countries was performed. A model of GGI’s...
