Since 2022, Europe has had 4 cases of extensively drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae, sequence type 16406, that is resistant to ceftriaxone and highly resistant to azithromycin. We report 2 new cases from France in 2023 involving strains genetically related to the 4 cases from Europe as well as isolates from Cambodia.
