Genetic characteristics of <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> strains ATCC 19424 and 49226, clinical strains and WHO reference strains X, Y and Z.

<p><sup><i>a</i></sup><i>N</i>. <i>gonorrhoeae s</i>trains ATCC 19424 and ATCC 49226; clinical strains NG 3, NG 7, NG 12, NG 14, NG 19, NG 20, NG 21 from Hospital Universitario Son Espases (Spain) and NG 22 from Hospital Clínic de Barcelona (Spain); and WHO reference strains NCTC 13820 (WHO X), NCTC 13821 (WHO Y) and NCTC 13822 (WHO Z). MLST, multilocus sequence typing; NG-MAST, <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> multiantigen sequence typing; NG-STAR, <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> Sequence Typing for Antimicrobial Resistance; ST, sequence type; WT, wild type. New NG-STAR profiles ST5411 and ST5569 were described. <sup><i>b</i></sup> The sequences and complete genomes for the <i>N</i>. <i>gonorrhoeae</i> ATCC strains 19424 and 49226, were obtained from the ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) genome portal. <sup><i>c</i></sup> The sequences for the <i>N</i>. <i>gonorrhoeae</i> clinical strains, were obtained from whole genome sequencing (WGS). <sup><i>d</i></sup> The sequences and complete genomes for the <i>N</i>. <i>gonorrhoeae</i> NCTC strains 13820 (WHO X), NCTC 13821 (WHO Y) and NCTC 13822 (WHO Z), were obtained from the BioProject PRJEB14020.</p> <p>(PDF)</p>
