Abstract
Gonococcal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a global threat significantly hampering the control of gonorrhea. Many socioeconomic, biological, behavioral, and programmatic factors have played an important role in driving the emergence, transmission and spread of gonococcal AMR. However, research to address these scientific and programmatic questions is limited in China. Here we propose a ROADMAP (acronym for resistance surveillance, outcomes due to AMR, antibiotic stewardship and application, diagnostic tools, mechanisms of AMR, antimicrobial assessment, and population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics) plan for expanding interdisciplinary collaborations to address the research needs in China.
