Surveillance of N. gonorrhoea in Tamale, Northern Region of Ghana
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The evolution of N. gonorrhoea into a “super bag” and the absence of a viable vaccine calls for continuous surveillance. Surveillance data of N. gonorrhoea in Ghana remains scanty with no known record from the Northern sector of Ghana. In this study, primary swab samples (230) were collected from Tamale metropolis to isolate N. gonorrhoea. Presumptive N. gonorrhoea isolates were confirmed via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the porB gene. One isolate (0.043%) was molecularly confirmed to be N. gonorrhoea. Further surveillance in Northern Ghana is encouraged.
