Percentages of Neisseria gonorrhoeae mosaic penA in NAAT specimens and gonorrhea patients treated with ceftriaxone or any extended-spectrum cephalosporin, South Korea, 2010–2017. Data for antimicrobial drug use were acquired from the Korea Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service in South Korea. In 2010 and 2011, no NAAT samples were available for screening of mosaic penA alleles. NA, not assessed; NAAT, nucleic acid amplification test.
