Detection of antibiotic resistance is essential for gonorrhoea point-of-care testing: a mathematical modelling study

Abstract Background Antibiotic resistance is threatening to make gonorrhoea untreatable. Point-of-care (POC) tests that detect resistance promise individually tailored treatment, but might lead to more treatment and higher levels of resistance. We investigate the impact of POC tests on antibiotic-re...
