Phylogenomic analysis based on core genome MLST of 2062 gene alleles of Neisseria gonorrhoeaegenomes from Vietnam in 2023 (n = 249) and publicly available genomes(n = 45,916) obtained from the European Nucleotide Archive (short-read archive). The locations of ceftriaxone-susceptible WHO D in the more antimicrobial-susceptible genomic lineage B and well-characterised ceftriaxone-resistant strains in AMR-associated genomic lineage A (WHO Q (penA-60.001), R (FC428; penA-60.001), X (H041; penA-37.001), Y (F89; penA-42.001), and F92 (penA-237.001)), are shown by arrows. On the left, number of ceftriaxone-resistant isolates and associated mosaic penA alleles in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are shown on the map of Vietnam. NA, Not applicable.
