Abstract excerpt
Antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an urgent public health threat. Resistance-guided therapy can assure appropriate treatment and reintroduce alternative therapeutic options by identifying genetic predictors of resistance. Mosaicism at codons 375-377 of the penA gene is associated with cefixime resistance. Rapid, field-deployable assays for predicting cefixime susceptibility are lacking. We used...
