is super Gonorrhea Real?
It’s official: the “superbug” of STIs has arrived and it’s not here to play nice. Super Gonorrhea, as it’s been dubbed by the internet, is giving doctors a run for their money with its high-level resistance to the usual treatment options for gonorrhea, including the trusty antibiotics of penicillin, sulphonamides, tetracycline, and even fluoroquinolones and macrolides. This new strain of the second most common bacterial STI has been reported in countries such as France, Japan, Spain, the UK, and Australia, and is causing a global panic.
According to the World Health Organization, 78 million new cases of gonorrhea were reported in 2012, with the highest number of incidences occurring in the Western Pacific and African regions. Not only is this new strain causing substantial morbidity, but it’s also causing a huge economic burden worldwide.
But here’s the kicker: antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in gonorrhea actually appeared shortly after the introduction of antimicrobials at the beginning of the 20th century. And it’s been on the rise ever since. In countries where appropriate and quality-assured surveillance is in place, there are rising trends in decreased susceptibility and increased resistance in N. gonorrhea to the “last line” of antibiotics (cefixime and ceftriaxone). Looks like we’ll have to dig deep to find a solution for this one. So, folks, practice safe sex or you may end up with a superbug as a bedfellow.
