Bad bug: Gonorrhea strain resists all antibiotics

Recommended Posts

Scary stuff!

Absolutely. But as the article said, utterly predictable.

 

We're in a never-ending arms race with bacteria and viruses, and there's absolutely no guarantee that we're going to win...

It kind of takes the wind out of that tired old argument that since a number of stds can be treated with antibiotics are worth the risk of choosing less safe options. So no, eventually, it won't be "OK" to risk chlamydia or syphillis cuz you can get it treated. Already we can see its not "OK" to risk gonorrhea (speaking specifically of what the throat is risking, fwiw).
