Doxycycline Post Exposure Prophylaxis could induce cross-resistance to other classes of antimicrobials in Neisseria gonorrhoeae: an in-silico analysis

Research output: Contribution to journalA1: Web of Science-articlepeer-review

Abstract

We found that tetracycline resistance-associated mutations and genes in Neisseria gonorrhoeae are linked to mutations causing resistance to other antimicrobials. Therefore, the use of doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis may select for resistance to other antimicrobials.
