China, known as ground zero for the Covid pandemic, may be fueling a global rise in a new infectious disease: super gonorrhea.
Up to 98 percent of bacteria samples taken from patients with the STD across 13 Chinese provinces had the ability to sidestep frontline antibiotics, according to a new CDC report.
Gonorrhea had been effectively evading medications for years, but the chief worry among researchers is that China is reporting rates of a strain resistant to one of the last remaining effective antibiotics 40 times higher than those in the US, UK, and Canada.
In 2022, researchers affiliated with the CDC in China collected more than 2,800 bacteria samples from patients with gonorrhea.
Over 97 percent of the samples were resistant to the drug ciprofloxacin, commonly known as Cipro, while 78 percent resisted treatment with penicillin, another ubiquitous antibiotic.
Roughly 17 percent of samples were resistant to azithromycin and cefixime, while eight percent were immune to the current standard of care, ceftriaxone.
The percentage of gonorrhea bacteria strains resistant to ceftriaxone has risen from 2.9 percent to 8.1 percent, which is much higher than what is reported in other countries.
For instance, in the UK in 2022, only 0.21 percent of strains showed reduced susceptibility to ceftriaxone.

Bingo! Not concerned at all about gonorrhea, regular or super.
Why doesn’t the Chineee government crack down on boom-boom? They have phone apps for monitoring everything else their citizens do.
My only question is where to put the mask?
That seems a nice malady for China.

Sexual disease would be almost non-existent if people understood that they should be married before copulating with somebody.
It’s only because of the spill over from bi-sexuals not staying in their lane do heterosexuals face large risks. The risk would still be there for illicit sex, but it would be 99% less.
