What this trial studies

This observational study aims to analyze the epidemiology of Neisseria gonorrhoeae septic arthritis over the past decade at Brest and Rennes university hospitals. It focuses on identifying risk factors associated with the condition by examining clinical and epidemiological data. Additionally, the study seeks to characterize the gonococcal strains to determine the presence of common clones, virulence factors, or specific resistance genes.
