Comparison of gradient diffusion and molecular methods using Allplex™ NG&DR assay (Seegene®) for macrolide and fluoroquinolone screening resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Abstract excerpt

Antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) is increasing worldwide. Second-line treatments with macrolides or fluoroquinolones are an option for NG infections in some cases following the STI guideline recommendations. In our study, we compared the gradient diffusion test using EUCAST 2024 breakpoints with a new molecular method using the Allplex™ NG&DR assay (Seegene®) including A2059G/C2611 mutations...
