Funded Activity Summary

Gonorrhoea is the second most common notifiable bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD) in Australia. This project seeks to evaluate typing methods to identify transmission patterns of different strains of gonorrhea. The molecular strain typing methods and the antimicrobial resistance surveillance outcomes employed in this study when integrated with STD control strategies will provide pragmatic and cost effective approaches whereby the enhancement of HIV spread by STIs will be curtailed.
