【TOMO雙語爆】抗生素無效!超級淋病在英國擴散

出版時間 2016/04/26

英文原文:

A strain of gonorrhea has evolved to become antibiotic resistant.

Known as “super gonorrhea,” the STD has spread since its emergence in Leeds, England last year.

The outbreak has spread to the West Midlands and South East, according to Public Health England.

Super gonorrhea refers to a gonorrhea strain that has become resistant to one of the disease’s primary treatment drugs.

Treatment of the super strain’s predecessor informally known as “the clap,” typically involves a combination of two drugs.

Super gonorrhea is already resistant to one of the drugs and doctors fear it will grow resistant to the second.

The outbreak seems to have started among heterosexual couples, but is now infecting gay men.

Like gonorrhea, super gonorrhea spreads through unprotected sex, but can also pass from mother to child in uterus.

Gonorrhea can cause infections in the genitals, rectum and throat.

If left untreated, the disease can cause permanent damage to reproductive systems including sterilization. It can also spread to blood and joints, and become life-threatening.
