Antimicrobial Resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

The Center of Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) has categorized emergent resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae as an “urgent” public health problem. We will discuss the emerging problem of gonorrhea and implications for public health with experts in the field
Objectives:
• Review the clinical implications of resistance to B-lactams and quinolones in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
• Discuss mechanisms of resistance in these organisms
• Provide insights into therapeutic approaches to treat resistant gonococcal infections.
Joining us to discuss this important topic are:
• William M. Shafer, Professor, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Emory University School of Medicine, Co-Director, Emory Antibiotic Resistance Center
• Yonatan Grad, Melvin J. and Geraldine L. Glimcher Associate Professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health
