A potentially dangerous sexually transmitted disease that infects millions of people each year is growing resistant to drugs and could soon become untreatable, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.

Scientists reported last year finding a "superbug" strain of gonorrhea in Japan in 2008 that was resistant to all recommended antibiotics and warned then that it could transform a once easily treatable infections into a global health threat.
I was having some stomach irritation and loose stool, and after consuming some lactose and fructose heavy food at a conference, my bloating returned and my IBS was worse than it was prior to the antibiotics. I then took a course of Cipro, 100 mg twice daily for a week. I also took Xifaxan simultaneously for the IBS 500 mg 3 times daily for 10 days. The Cipro seemed to help the joint pain but the two compounded the GI symptoms.
What I would like to know is if the people who have not taken many antibiotics in their lifetimes are as at risk as those who have built a resistance to them.
Is this mutant bacteria dangerous because the antibiotics don't work for a person who has a resistance or because it is so powerful that even if an antibiotic works well for you, the bacterial strain is so powerful, it will override any known antibiotic?
Does this question make sense?
HBV is going to be a huge problem in Asian countries with Vietnam expecting to take a huge financial hit in the next 10 years. The motivation is going to come from those countries most effected.
New cases may decrease in the US and other countries with rising immigrant populations but new diagnoses of people infected prior to widespread vaccination will rise over the next few years if HepB awareness programs are successful.
vaginalis is the predominant species. Similar to what happens in many other biofilm-related infections, standard antibiotics, like metronidazole, are unable to fully eradicate the vaginal biofilm, which can explain the high recurrence rates of BV. Furthermore, antibiotic therapy can also cause a negative impact on the healthy vaginal microflora. These issues sparked the interest in developing alternative therapeutic strategies.
Giving oral sex to a vagina is very low risk. There is a slight chance of getting oral gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, but the chances are really low.
Receiving oral sex is a risk for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and genital herpes type 1 (if your friend doesn't already have oral herpes type 1).
There is no risk for HIV.
Your friend can test for gonorrhea and chlamydia at 5 days (oral needs an oral swab, and he should ask for that specifically), and syphilis at 6 weeks.
Well, since you started taking the doxy, it's going to delay your testing times by a few weeks, since that could give you false negatives.
It would be very unlikely to get oral chlamydia from giving oral to a vagina, especially for 10 seconds, and if you've only taken one dose, I'd tell you to stop taking that unless your doctor told you to take it.
If you took one dose, it won't affect testing.
While chlamydia seems to respond well to medication so far, a small number of strains have shown signs of developing drug-resistance, says Workowski. Hook, however, says he doesn’t know of any resistant strains.
Syphilis has already defeated one drug used to treat it, azithromycin. Between 2000 and 2004, the prevalence of azithromycin-resistant syphilis in one San Francisco clinic jumped from zero percent to 56 percent.
Researchers publishing in the Lancet studied 26,000 untreated HIV-positive people in developing countries and found the most rapid increase in drug resistance occurred in East Africa, at 29% per year. In Southern Africa, it was 14% per year.

For several years, public health officials have been concerned that gonorrhea, one of the most prevalent STDs in the world, might become resistant to the last widely available antibiotics used to treat it, a class of drugs called cephalosporins.
Now, it has.
In that case your chances of catching anything are slim, furthermore taking antiobiotics for absolutely no reason can increase your resistance to antibiotics. So when/if you REALLY need to take them one day they might not work.
As case in point, use of expired antibiotics may result in you developing an anti-biotic resistant infection due to the degradation of effectiveness.
There are means to prevent drug resistance in antibiotics and they should consider appropriate ways to follow up before this happens.
syphillis is rare in developing countries, there were less than 10,000 cases in the US out of 800 million americans, i would say your chances were less than 1%. In theory is it possible of course is it likely NO.
i think the doctor exaggerated but we can have this data about uncontrolled flares after resistance from china only, all other countries have tdf and will never let a patient in such a status
booklets of these drugs report possible death due to liver failure in case the drug is discontinued
Has anyone bn in antibiotics during pregnancy? If so how far along were you? Had anyone taken azithromax 250??
You see, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and Moxifloxacin are all in the same class of antibiotics and bacteria creates resistance to classes of antibiotics, not individual antibiotics.
