Molecular Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Nunavut Region of Inuit Nunangat, Canada, 2018–2019
Abstract
We assessed antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Nunavut, Canada, using remnant gonorrhea nucleic acid amplification test–positive urine specimens. This study confirms the feasibility of conducting N. gonorrhoeae AMR surveillance and highlights the diversity of gonococcal sequence types and geographic variation of AMR patterns in the territory.
