Segera ke dokter, jangan malu untuk ditolong sebelum terlambat. Dan juga yang beristeri supaya diperiksa oleh dokter Kalau gonorrhea "klasik" diobati dengan antibiotik seperti penilicin, tetapi yang modern "superbug" ini rupanya belum ada obatnya?.

By Stephen Spencer Davis | Posted Monday, Jul. 11, 2011, at 10:53 AM EDT 11 Some scary news on the STD front. Scientists have discovered a "superbug" strain of gonorrhea in Japan that is resistant to all antibiotics currently used to fight the sexually transmitted disease, Reuters reports. Researchers worry that the strain, called H041, could transform the easily treated infection into a global health threat, and say that it has already proven resistant to the only antibiotics that are still effective in treating gonorrhea. One of the researcher's who discovered the strain called it both "alarming" and "predictable." "Since antibiotics became the standard treatment for gonorrhea in the 1940s, this bacterium has shown a remarkable capacity to develop resistance mechanisms to all drugs introduced to control it," said the researcher, Magnus Unemo. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to ectopic pregnancy and infertility in women. Unemo sees the strain's discovery in Japan as part of a larger pattern. "Japan has historically been the place for the first emergence and subsequent global spread of different types of resistance in gonorrhea," he said. There were indications that gonorrhea could become a superbug last year, when reports emerged from Hong Kong, China, Australia, and other parts of Asia about the disease's resistance to drugs. The STD is one of the most common in the world and there are about 700,000 cases annually in the United States alone. Unemo is slated to present details of his findings at a conference of the International Society for Sexually Transmitted Disease Research later Monday. Photo by Sandy Huffaker/Getty Image.
