11 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy-PEP) is a strategy to reduce bacterial sexually transmitted infections. However, the impact of doxy-PEP on resistance emergence is as of yet unclear. Commensal Neisseria are known reservoirs of resistance for gonococci through horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and are more likely to experience bystander selection from doxy-PEP as they are universally carried.
