Culture-Independent Genotyping Improves Surveillance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Especially in Oropharyngeal Samples, the Netherlands, 2017 to 2018
It is important i to monitor the transmission and antimicrobial resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG). Current surveillance relies on culturing, which frequently fails. Previously, a culture-independent genotyping method was developed based on NG multi-antigen sequence typing (NG-MAST). To determine whether crucial sequence types (STs) are missed during culture-dependent surveillance, NG-positive NAAT samples were genotyped, and the results of the culture-positive and culture-negative samples were compared. In total, 196 NG-positive NAAT samples, from January 2017 until August 2018, which w... Mehr ...
