Gonorrhea Superbug: First Antibiotic-Resistant STD Strain Discovered
Scientists have found the first "superbug" strain of gonorrhea -- a discovery they're calling "both alarming and predictable."
Found in Japan, the H041 strain is resistant to the class of antibiotics, called cephalosporins, commonly used to treat the STD.
This could "transform a once easily treatable infection into a global public health threat," reports Reuters.
Gonorrhea has become increasingly resistant to antibiotics for several years now, and the percentage of cephalosporin-resistant gonorrhea cases in the U.S. is on the rise, according to the CDC's latest Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
