Super-Resistant Gonorrhea Strain Found In Japan
by RICHARD KNOX
July 12, 2011.
The emergence of a strain of gonorrhea that can thwart the last antibiotic effective in treating the common sexually transmitted disease was bound to happen, experts say.

The new, super-resistant strain is called H041, and so far, only a handful of cases are known in Japan. But don’t count on it staying that way. Experience has shown that once a resistant strain of gonorrhea appears, it steadily displaces those that can be killed with antibiotics.

a pa friend of mine who was a vietnam era corpsman said when gc became resistant to pcn they all thought the world would end. of course at the same time they considered trichomonas to be "normal vaginal flora" (seriously).
