Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, highlighting the urgent public health threat posed by strains related to the FC428 clone, particularly regarding ceftriaxone effectiveness.
- Analysis of 463 isolates from China in 2021 revealed high resistance rates: penicillin (75.2%), tetracycline (87.9%), and ciprofloxacin (98.3%), with ceftriaxone showing a concerning 8.9% resistance.
- The findings indicate a disturbing level of AMR, especially in penA-60.001 strains, which could compromise treatment options and demonstrate unique evolutionary patterns among different genotypes.
