Article Synopsis
- Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses a significant public health risk due to rising cases and antimicrobial resistance, with whole-genome sequencing (WGS) evaluated for predicting susceptibility to various antimicrobials.
- 481 isolates from five countries were analyzed, revealing that susceptibility to ciprofloxacin is linked to a specific genetic marker (gyrA codon 91), while predicting susceptibility to other drugs requires a multilocus approach.
- All isolates tested were susceptible to zolifodacin, and while a single marker can guide ciprofloxacin treatment, a combination of markers is necessary for other medications.
