- Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae has become a big challenge in the control and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Recently, a ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain FC428 has spread across the world including China, which has worsened the antimicrobial resistance problem. This strain is highly resistant to ceftriaxone due to a novel mosaic penA gene. In order to better understand the characteristics of FC428 and control its further spread, this review summarizes its origin, spread, main molecular characteristics, resistance mechanisms, detection methods, and strategies for clinical treatment and antimicrobial resistance surveillance.
