Mosaic Drug Efflux Gene Sequences from Commensal Neisseria Can Lead to Low-Level Azithromycin Resistance Expressed by Neisseria gonorrhoeae Clinical Isolates

In a previous mBio article, Wadsworth and colleagues (mBio 9:e01419-18, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.01419-18) described Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates that express low levels of azithromycin (Azi) resistance. Whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis suggested that the isolates had a...
