Further investigation identified that elevated gepotidacin MICs were significantly associated with substitutions at GyrA position 92\/95 and ParC position 86\/87, including GyrA A92P (odds ratio [OR], 4.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.61\u20136.94) and D95Y (OR, 4.61; 95% CI, 2.82\u20137.54), as well as ParC D86N (OR, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.99\u20134.90) and S87N (OR, 5.92; 95% CI, 3.63\u20139.64). Substitution combinations analyses revealed that GyrA D95A plus ParC D86N, GyrA A92P\/D95Y plus ParC S87N, GyrA D95A plus ParC S87N, and GyrA D95G plus ParC D86N were significantly associated with elevated gepotidacin MICs.

We also found that the strain with preexisting GyrA D95A and ParC D86N more readily acquired A92T and developed high-level resistance under gepotidacin exposure. Our study highlights key mutational patterns and clonal backgrounds that promote gepotidacin resistance, emphasizing the need for optimized dosing strategies as well as targeted molecular surveillance
