Use of molecular resistance assays to provide alterative oral treatment strategies for gonorrhoea in Indigenous and other high-risk populations; a randomised cluster trial

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Gonorrhoea has now developed resistance to almost all antibiotics that have been used to treat it. In this study, we will investigate a new treatment approach that selects antibiotics on a patient-by-patient basis. We will use new molecular assays to first test if a gonorrhoea strain infecting a patient is susceptible to an antibiotic, and will then treat on the basis of this result. By doing so, we will optimize our use of antibiotics and improve treatment strategies for gonorrhea.
