Author summary The rising levels of antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae make controlling the spread of this sexually transmitted pathogen a public health priority. N. gonorrhoeae rapidly va...

Since late 2021, highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAI) of the H5 subtype clade 2.3.4.4b have spread across the Americas, devastating wildlife, agricultural animals, and resulting in dozens ...

Resistance to zoliflodacin, a first-in-class antibiotic for gonorrhea treatment, can occur through gyrBD429N, but this mutation's impact on fitness and resistance to other topoisomerase targeting drug...

The panzootic of highly pathogenic H5N1 since 2021 was driven by around nine introductions into the Atlantic and Pacific flyways, followed by rapid dissemination through wild migratory birds, primaril...

Abstract. The 2022 panzootic of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) viruses has led to unprecedented transmission to multiple mammalian species.

Introduction Drug resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an urgent public health threat. The anticipated approval of two new antimicrobials for gonorrhea prompts the need for evidence-based rollout st...

The use of the antibiotic doxycycline to reduce STIs appears to be fueling some antibiotic resistance, according to new research.

During 2018–2024, the percentage of N. gonorrhoeae isolates carrying tetM, which confers tetracycline resistance, increased from less than 10% to more than 30% across the United States.

The University of Georgia, College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Population Health invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in the field...

Please complete this application to attend the Data Viz workshop. This event will be held at the 2025 STI & HIV World Congress in Montreal, Canada on Wednesday, July 30th from 11:30-13:30. Effective...

Yonatan Grad, professor of immunology and infectious diseases, comments on the potential impact of recent decisions related to vaccines made by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr...

After a decade of rising cases, the US CDC reported a decline in the rate of gonorrhea diagnoses for two years in a row in 2022 and 2023, especially among young adults. Primary and secondary syphilis ...

Type IV pili (T4P) are widespread dynamic appendages required for diverse prokaryotic behaviors including twitching motility, biofilm formation, and DNA uptake leading to natural transformation. Altho...

Identifying genetic variants associated with bacterial phenotypes, such as virulence, host preference and antimicrobial resistance, has great potential for a better understanding of the mechanisms inv...

The dynamics of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria are informed by the fitness advantages conferred by genetic determinants of resistance in the presence of antibiotic pressure and the potential fit...

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a leading cause of sexually transmitted infection (STI) and a priority AMR pathogen. Two narrow host range plasmids, p bla and pConj, have contributed to ending penicillin and...

Phylowave, an innovative phylogenetic approach, can identify the main circulating pathogen lineages with increased fitness and the associated genetic changes, enabling the timely identification of…

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious public health threat. Neisseria gonorrhoeae has developed resistance to all antibiotics recommended for treatment and reports of reduced susceptibility to c...

Background: Yaws, a neglected tropical disease caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pertenue, has evaded eradication, in part due to a high proportion of asymptomatic cases. A cluster-randomised tr...

Significant reductions in methicillin resistance in S aureus, vancomycin-resistant E faecium, and fluoroquinolone resistance across multiple pathogens suggest that control efforts have had an effect o...
