The Neisseria gonorrhoeae accessory genome and its association with the core genome and antimicrobial resistance

The bacterial accessory genome provides the genetic flexibility needed to facilitate environment and host adaptation. In Neisseria gonorrhoeae, known accessory elements include plasmids which can transfer and mediate antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, chromosomal accessory genes could also pla...
