PL10 Using pathogen population genomics to study the evolution, spread, and antibiotic resistance of STIs

The analysis of genomes from populations of isolates can help address many questions relevant to the pathogen’s biology and epidemiology and thus inform on clinical and public health practice. These questions include the origins and evolution of the pathogen, its spread through populations, and the genes and genotypes associated with a pathogen’s antimicrobial resistance, virulence, and other phenotypes of interest. Here, I will discuss the application of population genomics to STIs, with a focus on Neisseria gonorrhoeae and with highlights from other sexually transmitted pathogens.
