ABSTRACTWe have characterized in detail a new ceftriaxone- and multidrug-resistantNeisseria gonorrhoeaestrain (FC428) isolated in Japan in 2015. FC428 differed from previous ceftriaxone-resistant strains and contained a novel mosaicpenAallele encoding a new mosaic penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP 2). However, the resistance-determining 3′-terminal region ofpenAwas almost identical to the regions of two previously reported ceftriaxone-resistant strains from Australia and Japan, indicating that both ceftriaxone-resistant strains and conserved ceftriaxone resistance-determining PBP 2 regions might spread.
