A new antibiotic resistant strain of gonorrhea called H041 has been identified by Japanese and European researchers. It was found in Japan, but gonorrhea can spread anywhere. The National Institutes of Health website says, “Anyone who has any type of sex can catch gonorrhea. The infection can be spread by contact with the mouth, vagina, penis, or anus.”

In lab research, the new strain of gonorrhea was observed to be able to pass its antibiotic resistance on to other strains, and increasing their antibiotic resistance several hundred times. There is no treatment currently for the new strain. “This is a large public health problem and the era of untreatable gonorrhea may now have been initiated,” said the researchers. (Source: LATimes) Proper condom use can significantly reduce the chance of contracting gonorrhea.

The Centers for Disease Control has already noted the difficulty presented by the emergence of such a gonorrhea strain, “The emergence of cephalosporin-resistant gonorrhea would significantly complicate our ability to treat gonorrhea successfully, since we have few antibiotic options left that are simple, well-studied, and highly effective.”

Gonnorhea, ‘the clap’ as it is called by some in the United States, is usually treated with cephalosporins. It is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world. In the United States there are about 700,000 new cases each year.

Gonorrhea Risk Factors (NIH)

Have multiple sexual partners
Have a partner with a past history of any sexually transmitted disease
Do not use a condom during sex
Have a drug addiction

In women gonorrhea can cause:
Salpingitis (scarring of the fallopian tubes), which can lead to problems getting pregnant or ectopic pregnancy
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Sterility (inability to become pregnant)
Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
Pregnant women with severe gonorrhea may pass the disease to their baby while in the womb or during delivery

In both males and females it can cause:
Disseminated infection, which can be very serious
Long-term joint pain, if the infection is left untreated
Heart valve infection
Meningitis
