Increased antimicrobial resistance surveillance and new effective antimicrobials are crucial to maintain treatable gonorrhoea. We examined the in vitro activity of gepotidacin, a novel triazaacenaphthylene, and the effect of efflux pump inactivation on clinical Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates and international reference strains (n = 252) and compared gepotidacin with antimicrobials currently or previously recommended for gonorrhoea treatment.
