Detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae and ciprofloxacin susceptibility markers
Dual N. gonorrhoeae targets (opa & porA), gyrA S91F mutant, & gyrA S91 wildtype in a single-well multiplex qPCR test
Antibiotic resistance in gonorrhoea infections is a global concern. There are limited effective treatment options and novel antibiotics are not readily available. Smarter and more directed use of antibiotics can be achieved through Resistance Guided Therapy.
Tested on hundreds of clinical samples, ResistancePlus® GC demonstrates excellent sensitivity and specificity.
Streamline your workflow and increase productivity for rapid, routine diagnostics. Full automation options including sample and qPCR set-up, through to validated software solutions for automated result calling and simple data processing.
SpeeDx analysis software included in contract pricing is license free and installed on a high security and GDPR compliant platform:
Increase capacity of your existing qPCR instrumentation through universal run conditions compatible with all ResistancePlus® products.
Demonstrated clinical performance – for more detail please see the ResistancePlus® GC Instructions for Use.
Performance of ResistancePlus® GC | |||
---|---|---|---|
GC detection | gyrA S91F Detection | ||
Sensitivity | 96.9% | 100% | |
Specificity | 99.7% | 98.6% |
ResistancePlus® GC simultaneously detects the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) and the gyrA S91 (wild type) or gyrA S91F (mutant) markers that are associated with susceptibility or resistance to the fluoroquinolone antibiotic, ciprofloxacin.

Evaluation of the molecular detection of ciprofloxacin resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae by the ResistancePlus® assay (SpeeDx)
Cotton, S et al. Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Diseases 2020 Nov 12;99(4):115262.
Samples were selected from a range of sites with corresponding cultures isolated from the same patient episode. The ResistancePlus® GC assay displayed high sensitivity for N. gonorrhoeae detection (98.5%) and gyrA detection (97.1%). There was high agreement (98.9%) between the ResistancePlus® GC assay and culture phenotype.
Improved Determination of Neisseria Gonorrhoeae Gyrase A Genotype Results in Clinical Specimens
Allan-Blitz L-T et al. Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy 2019 Oct 1;74(10):2913-2915.
The ResistancePlus® GC (beta) assay showed improved N. gonorrhoeae gyrA genotype determination compared with a prior gyrA genotypic high-resolution melt assay.
Towards Individualised Treatment of Gonorrhoea
Discussion on the evolution of resistance in gonorrhoea, and to the design and application of diagnostic molecular tests for antibiotic resistance in gonorrhoea. Speaks to the mutations linked to ciprofloxacin susceptibility and resistance and introduces the broad-reaching clinical trials ongoing in Australia.
