We estimated the fraction of antibiotic prescribing in the United States attributable to gonorrhea. Gonorrhea contributes to an outsized proportion of antibiotic prescriptions in young adults, males, and in the southern and western United States. A gonococcal vaccine could substantially reduce antibiotic prescribing in these populations.
我们估计了美国归因于淋病的抗生素处方比例。淋病导致年轻人、男性以及美国南部和西部地区的抗生素处方比例过高。淋病球菌疫苗可以大大减少这些人群的抗生素处方数量。
