Rifampicin Resistance Associated with rpoB Mutations in Neisseria gonorrhoeae Clinical Strains Isolated in Austria, 2016 to 2020

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Due to increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, alternative treatments should be considered. To assess rifampicin’s potential as a gonorrhea treatment, we used rpoB mutations to estimate rifampicin resistance in ...
