Abstract
As prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae increases globally, it is important to understand the underlying trends that can contribute to this problematic issue. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) provides much needed resolution to be able to determine key genes and mutations of interest. In The Lancet Microbe, Kim Gernert and colleagues describe a genomic analysis of N gonorrhoeae isolate surveillance data obtained in the USA in 2017.1 By WGS of 410 isolates, Gernert and colleagues were able to identify the persistence and expansion of a strain associated with decreased susceptibility to azithromycin.
