Resistance to ceftriaxone and penicillin G among contemporary syphilis strains confirmed by natural in vitro mutagenesis
10 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: For many years, syphilis treatment was considered straightforward due to the universal susceptibility of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (TPA) to penicillin antibiotics. METHODS: Penicillin-binding protein genes from a ceftriaxone treatment failure T. pallidum isolate were assessed, and the introduction of identified mutations into two laboratory strains via natural competence was aimed for,...
