Dr Andrew Winter & Dr Elizabeth Moss | From the lab to the clinic: Finding your feet with molecular resistance testing
Drs Winter, Consultant in Sexual Health and HIV, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, UK, and Moss, Clinical Fellow in Emergency Medicine, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, UK, share practical learning from their experience of introducing molecular resistance testing for gonorrhoea into a large urban population. They discuss implementation considerations and describe how these systems helped influence treatment decisions. Including examples where molecular resistance testing made a difference in patient management.
Dr Helen Fifer | Failure of Empiric Therapy of Gonorrhoea
Dr Fifer, Consultant Microbiologist, Lead microbiologist for bacterial STIs, Public Health England, shares an overview of the emergence of resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the United Kingdom. Describing cases exhibiting failed empirical therapy and the process of including Resistance Guided Therapy in the UK gonorrhoea guidelines.
Catriona Bradshaw | Evolution of Resistance Guided Therapy
Catriona shares her extensive experiences of resistance guided therapy in the clinic, including her early access to ResistancePlus MG FleXible – near patient macrolide resistance testing for Mgen infections – and the expected impact of near-patient testing.
Dr. Jørgen Skov Jensen
Dr. Jørgen Skov Jensen, Head of Bacterial STI Research Department Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark Speaks about Mycoplasma genitalium (Mgen) and rising rates to first and second line antibiotic treatment, new test technology to address resistance rates and introduces ResistancePlus MG on the Cepheid GeneXpert.
Dr. Kate Templeton
Dr. Kate Templeton, Director Scottish Bacterial Sexually Transmitted Infections Reference Laboratory (SBSTIRL) Speaks about gonorrhoea diagnostics and rising rates of antibiotic resistance. Discusses how implementing ResistancePlus GC can help guide treatment towards ciprofloxacin and help address rising rates of antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Dr. Leanne Sammels
Leanne shares her experience of integrating resistance guided therapy into existing laboratory testing practices. Learn how she navigated additional clinician communications and workflow considerations to ensure clinically relevant turn around times.
