Genomic Investigation of Disseminated Gonococcal Infections, Minnesota, USA, 2024

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article summarizes a genomic investigation of a 4-fold increase in disseminated gonococcal infections in Minnesota, USA, in 2024. We detected the emergence of a Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain of a rarely observed sequence type, which carries a porB1a allele previously associated with disseminated disease and lacks a gonococcal genetic island.
