• The prevalence of ceftriaxone resistance in N gonorrhoeae is highest in the Western Pacific region.1 Many of the N gonorrhoeae infections associated with high minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) to ceftriaxone reported in the USA, the UK, and the rest of Europe carry the penA-60.001 allele, which is associated with ceftriaxone resistance and was first detected in the Western Pacific region.2,3,6 The Enhanced Gonococcal Surveillance Programme in Cambodia recently reported 29 (38%) of 76 urethral isolates collected from 2021–22 were associated with ceftriaxone MICs of 0·125 mg/L or more.4 Moreover, all of those resistant isolates harbored the penA-60.001 allele. From January through to December, 2023, all isolates at the Hanoi Medical University Hospital (Hanoi, Viet Nam) were selected for antibiotic susceptibility testing (figure).
