Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile for the US Neisseria meningitidis Urethritis Clade


 The United States Neisseria meningitidis urethritis clade (US_NmUC) harbors gonococcal DNA alleles and causes gonorrhea-like urogenital tract disease. A large convenience sample of US_NmUC isolates (N = 122) collected between January 2015 and December 2019 in Columbus, Ohio, demonstrated uniform susceptibility to antibiotics recommended for gonorrhea treatment and meningococcal chemoprophylaxis.
