We summarize a genomic investigation of a 4-fold increase in disseminated gonococcal infections (DGI) in Minnesota, USA, in 2024. We detected the emergence of strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae of a rarely observed sequence type, which carries a porB1a allele previously associated with disseminated disease and lacks a gonococcal genetic island.
