The declining yield from hospital-based screening in later program stages suggests that targeted pathways through harm reduction, specialized, and primary healthcare providers may be more efficient as elimination efforts mature.

The authors note that, as these strains bypass metabolic costs of resistance, surveillance is warranted to limit further drug resistance acquisition.
