Environmental exposure to antibiotics drives and sustains antibiotic resistance in <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> : A modelling study

2025-12-08

Abstract excerpt

Ciprofloxacin resistance is widespread in Neisseria gonorrhoeae , despite its discontinuation as recommended treatment option in 2007. Unintentional low-level exposure to ciprofloxacin, e.g., environmental or food-borne, might provide sufficiently high selection pressure to maintain resistance and compensate potential fitness costs. We used a mathematical within-host model of gonorrhoea to investigate the effect...
