Global trends of antimicrobial resistance rates in Neisseria gonorrhoeae: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) is a significant public health concern.

Objective

The objective of our study was to assess global AMR rates and test them both temporally and geographically.

Methods

We conducted a systematic search of relevant reports from international databases up to 2021. The R statistical package was used for all statistical analyses.

Results

A total of 225 articles were analyzed, and 432,880 NG isolates were examined. The weighted pooled resistance (WPR) rate of different antibiotics was as follows: ciprofloxacin, 51.6%; tetracycline, 45.4%; trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, 42.4%; chloramphenicol, 4.1%; kanamycin, 2.1%; gentamicin, 0.6%; and spectinomycin, 0.3%. The resistance to spectinomycin, g
