Ceftriaxone (CRO) is widely used as the first-line treatment for gonococcal infections. However, CRO-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains carrying mosaic penA-60.001 have emerged recently and disseminated worldwide. To meet the urgent need to detect these strains, we report here a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay system that targets N. gonorrhoeaepenA-60.001. This assay system can differentiate N. gonorrhoeae strains carrying mosaic penA-60.001 from strains carrying other penA alleles.
