Antimicrobial resistance and molecular characteristics of isolates in Ghana.

Introduction: Gonorrhoea is a disease associated with humans and caused by s ability to evolve and evade various treatment regimens can lead to untreatable gonorrhoea. In the absence of a viable vaccine and a national database on the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and molecular characteristics of and with reliance on a syndromic management regime, continuous national antimicrobial resistance surveillance and molecular characterization of remain imperative. Only two gonococcal studies have described molecular characteristics linked to AMR in Ghana.
