Identification of Internationally Disseminated Ceftriaxone-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae Strain FC428, China

Shao-Chun Chen et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2019 Jul.

Abstract

In 2016, we identified a ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolate in China. The strain genotype was identical to the resistant clone FC428 that originated in Japan. Enhanced international collaborative surveillance programs are crucial to track the transmission of the ceftriaxone-resistant clones.

Keywords: China; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; antimicrobial resistance; bacteria; ceftriaxone resistance; internationally disseminated clone; sexually transmitted infections.
