Global trends of antimicrobial resistance rates in Neisseria gonorrhoeae: a systematic review and meta-analysis

  08 July 2024

A study assessing global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) isolates revealed a continuous increase in resistance to some antibiotics, including tetracycline and ciprofloxacin, even after discontinuation.

The study highlights the need for continued global monitoring of AMR profiles to inform treatment strategies and mitigate untreatable gonorrhea threats.
