Gonorrhoea treatment combined with population-level general cephalosporin and quinolone consumption may select for Neisseria gonorrhoeae antimicrobial resistance at the levels of NG-MAST genogroup: an ecological study in Europe Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
OBJECTIVES: The prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae NG-MAST genogroup G1407, associated with decreased susceptibility to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and fluoroquinolone resistance, has declined in Europe and it switched from circulating predominantly in men who have sex with men (MSM) in 2009-2010 to heterosexuals in 2013. We hypothesise that changes to gonorrhoea treatment guidelines combined with differences in country-level ...

The impact of physical restriction measures imposed during the two waves of COVID-19 on chlamydia and gonorrhea diagnoses in Belgium: results of an sexually transmitted infection clinic Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Background: During the first two waves of COVID-19, several physical restriction measurements were imposed in Belgium. Our aim was to explore the impact of these restriction measures on the number of tests and positivity rate of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT)/Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) before, during, and after the two lockdowns in Belgium. Methods:Chlamydia trachomatis/Neisseria gonorrhoeae molecular data of a Belgian STI clinic were extracted ...
Is screening for chlamydia and gonorrhea in men who have sex with men associated with reduction of the prevalence of these infections? A systematic review of observational studies Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen Universiteit Hasselt
BACKGROUND: Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonorrhea) could become untreatable in the near future. Indeed, while the treatment of symptomatic gonorrhea in core groups, such men who have sex with men (MSM), is crucial for gonorrhea control programs, screening for and treating asymptomatic gonorrhea/Chlamydia trachomatis(chlamydia) in MSM may contribute to antibiotic resistance in gonorrhea. In this systematic review we aim to assess if there is ...
