A total of 763 NG isolates were genotyped to examine gonococcal strain distribution and prevalence for the first 6\u00a0months of 2020, with 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2020 classified as \u2018pre\u2019 COVID-19 restrictions (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0463) and 1 April 2020 to 30 June 2020 classified as \u2018post\u2019 COVID-19 restrictions (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0300). Genotypes most prevalent \u2018pre\u2019 restrictions remained proportionally high \u2018post\u2019 restrictions, with some significantly increasing \u2018post\u2019 restrictions. However, genotype diversity was significantly reduced \u2018post\u2019 restrictions. Overall, it seems public health restrictions (9\u201310\u00a0weeks) were not sufficient to affect rates of infection or reduce the prevalence of well-established genotypes in our population, potentially due to reduced access to services or health-seeking behaviours.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268823000523","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,13]],"date-time":"2023-04-13T00:52:27Z","timestamp":1681347147000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Decreased <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/i> genotypic diversity following COVID-19 restrictions in Queensland, Australia 2020"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"151","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1025-6072","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bushra","family":"Alharbi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amy V.","family":"Jennison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vicki","family":"Hicks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David M.","family":"Whiley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Sweeney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ella","family":"Trembizki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0950268823000523_r8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid2404.171873"},{"key":"S0950268823000523_r9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AAC.00504-16"},{"key":"S0950268823000523_r10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid2507.190172"},{"key":"S0950268823000523_r1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2471\/BLT.18.228486"},{"key":"S0950268823000523_r3","first-page":"44","article-title":"National Neisseria Network, Australia, Australian gonococcal surveillance programme 1 April to 30 June 2020","volume":"15","author":"Lahra","year":"2020","journal-title":"Communicable Diseases Intelligence"},{"key":"S0950268823000523_r2","first-page":"44","article-title":"Australian gonococcal surveillance programme, 1 January to 31 March 2020","volume":"15","author":"Lahra","year":"2020","journal-title":"Communicable Diseases Intelligence"},{"key":"S0950268823000523_r4","unstructured":"[4] Chief Health Officer (2020) Revoked and Superseded Public Health Directions."},{"key":"S0950268823000523_r5","unstructured":"[5] Chief Health Officer (2020) Mass Gatherings Direction."},{"key":"S0950268823000523_r6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/dkz182"},{"key":"S0950268823000523_r7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciw648"}],"container-title":["Epidemiology and Infection"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0950268823000523","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,27]],"date-time":"2023-04-27T11:21:47Z","timestamp":1682594507000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0950268823000523\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["S0950268823000523"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/s0950268823000523","relation":{},"ISSN":["0950-2688","1469-4409"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0950-2688","type":"print"},{"value":"1469-4409","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"assertion":[{"value":"\u00a9 The Author(s), 2023.
