Neisseria gonorrhoeae is one of the most common pathogens responsible for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) globally, with over 80 million annual cases worldwide [1]. In Denmark, surveillance of gonorrhoea has shown a drastic increase in cases from 2022 onwards, similar to other countries across Europe [2]. In Denmark, this has particularly been observed in the Capital region and in the Northern region of Jutland in women and heterosexual men, i.e. men who have sex with women (MSW). Here, we use national surveillance data and genomics to aid our understanding of dissemination and potential drivers of N. gonorrhoeae infections.
