Gonorrhea is a sexual disease that had a cure if the treatment was based on an antibiotic, but the scientists found that the disease had a dangerous mutation that is very resistant on the cure with antibiotics.

The disease that was one treated with a penicillin treatment is now resistant at this kind of medicine and the doctors are worried about the repercussions. The experts found a mutation of this disease that is not responding to any kind of antibiotic.

More, the scientist warns that the sexual transmission disease might become a global health problem, especially in this moment when in Japan there was discovered a case of gonorrhea, having the mutation H041, that is incurable. Gonorrhea disease evolved in the last years and all the treatment became one by one inefficient.

There is not very long time since the treatment was based only on the antibiotics, from the cephalosporin category, but for this new mutation, the treatment is not efficient.

The scientist that discovered the mutation, Magnus Unemo, from Swedish Reference Laboratory for Pathogenic Neisseria, said that from the beginning of this treatment and now, the germ that triggers the disease, Neisseria gonorrhea, has a remarkable resistance.

The scientists said that the phenomenon is […]
