Increased power from bacterial genome-wide association conditional on known effects identifies <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> macrolide resistance mutations in the 50S ribosomal protein L4
2020-03-25
Abstract excerpt
The emergence of resistance to azithromycin complicates treatment of N. gonorrhoeae , the etiologic agent of gonorrhea. Population genomic analyses of clinical isolates have demonstrated that some azithromycin resistance remains unexplained after accounting for the contributions of known resistance mutations in the 23S rRNA and the MtrCDE efflux pump. Bacterial genome-wide association studies (GWAS) offer a promi...
