A genomic epidemiology investigation of yaws re-emergence and bacterial drug resistance selection

2020-01-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> In a longitudinal study assessing the WHO strategy for yaws eradication using mass azithromycin treatment, we observed resurgence of yaws cases with dominance of a single JG8 sequence type and emergence of azithromycin-resistant Treponema pallidum. Here, we analyse genomic changes in the bacterial population using samples collected during the study. <h4>Methods:</h4> We performed whole bacter...
