Declarations
:
: In the present study, all examined gonococcal isolates were cultured and preserved as part of the routine diagnostics (standard care) from 2009 to 2019, and no patient identification data were available when data were retrospectively analysed. No patients were recruited only for the present study, and all patients were managed (diagnosed and treated) in accordance with standard care outside the present study from 2009 to 2019. Accordingly, no consent from the patients diagnosed and treated in routine practice (standard care) from 2009 to 2019 or any separate ethical approval for the present study was deemed necessary or required. Nevertheless, despite this an approval of the study protocol and publication of its results was obtained by the Expert Commission at the Belarusian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education (BelMAPO), Minsk, Belarus (Date of final decision: July 6, 2020).
