Genomic investigation of increased incidence of disseminated gonococcal infections cases in Minnesota, USA, 2024

Abstract excerpt

We summarize a genomic investigation of a 4-fold increase in disseminated gonococcal infections (DGI) in Minnesota, USA, in 2024. We detected the emergence of strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae of a rarely observed sequence type, which carries a porB1a allele previously associated with disseminated disease and lacks a gonococcal genetic island. <h4>Article Summary Line</h4> A substantial increase in disseminated gono...
