Title
Complete reference genomes of two ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains identified in routine surveillance in Bangkok, Thailand, using Nanopore Q20+ chemistry, VolTRAX V2b, and Illumina sequencing
Ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, mostly associated with Asia, threaten gonorrhea treatment. We report the reference genomes of two ceftriaxone-resistant isolates found in routine surveillance in Bangkok, Thailand. The genomes belonged to the more antimicrobial-susceptible genomic lineage B, illustrating that both ceftriaxone-resistant strains and the mosaic penA-60.001 ceftriaxone-resistance determinant are spreading.
