Genomic epidemiology of syphilis reveals independent emergence of macrolide resistance across multiple circulating lineages

2018-09-18

Abstract excerpt

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum and may lead to severe complications. Recent years have seen striking increases in syphilis in many countries. Previous analyses have suggested one lineage of syphilis, SS14, may have expanded recently, indicating emergence of a single pandemic azithromycin-resistant cluster. We used direct sequencing of T. pallidum co...
