High frequency of Nichols-like strains and increased levels of macrolide resistance in Treponema pallidum isolates from Buenos Aires, Argentina
2022-04-06
Abstract excerpt
Globally, 94% of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (TPA) clinical isolates belong to the SS14-like group and 6% to the Nichols-like group, with a prevalence of macrolide resistance of 90%. Our goal was to determine whether local TPA strain distribution and macrolide resistance frequency have changed significantly since our last report, which revealed that Argentina had a high frequency of Nichols-like strains (27...
