Jurisdiction surveillance gonorrhea data were provided by Wisconsin Department of Health Services, North Carolina Division of Public Health, and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment STD surveillance systems.

Patient resides in the funded SURRG jurisdiction.

SURRG jurisdiction status determined using patient zip code of residence.

§

Jurisdiction status could not be determined for 300 Guilford County patients with positive urogenital GC cultures with AST because of missing data.

Data defining cisgender or transgender are not widely available in jurisdictional gonorrhea surveillance data. SURRG patients self-identified gender categories.

Patient self-reported gender of sex partners in the previous 3 months among males.

AST indicates antimicrobial susceptibility testing; CO, Colorado; NC, North Carolina; GC, Neisseria gonorrhoeae; MSM, men who have sex with men; MSMW, men who have sex with men and women; MSW, men who have sex with women; NA, not available; NHOPI, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander; SURRG, Strengthening the US Response to Resistant Gonorrhea; WI, Wisconsin.
