[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Is this the same untreatable Philippine clap that showed up in Salt Lake City about thirty five years ago?

[Mrs. Don-o]

No. Thirty five years ago, there were still lots of new antibiotics "in the pipeline," at various stages of being developed, being tested, being FDA-approved for use. And we came up with new meds like azithromycin and ceftriaxone to stop gonorrhea -- for the time being.

Now these antibiotics --- even cephalosporin ---are not stopping the new gonorrhea strains, and there's really nothing in the pipeline.

As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
