Sexually transmitted disease increases resistance to antibiotics

Super-gonorrea is becoming more resistant to antibiotics, making it have limited access to the disease.

The sexually transmitted infection (STI) is becoming increasingly difficult to treat and is now able to fight three common drugs.

It comes in the midst of a major increase in cases. There have been nearly 45,000 diagnosiss in England in 2017, an increase of 22 percent in just one year, the figures show.

Super-gonorrea is one of many antibiotics resistant infections, which together kill about 700,000 people worldwide every year.

Patients are usually given ceftriax and azitromycin to fight gonorren.

A Public Health report found that resistance to these three drugs continues to increase by restricting available access to disease.
