Ceftriaxone-resistant <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> detected in England, 2015–24: an observational analysis

Abstract

Most cases of ceftriaxone-resistant N. gonorrhoeae detected in England were associated with travel from the Asia-Pacific region. All genital infections were successfully treated with ceftriaxone, but there were extragenital treatment failures. Ceftriaxone resistance continues to be associated with the penA-60.001 allele within multiple genetic backgrounds and with widespread dissemination in the Asia-Pacific region.
