BOORTZ:ALERT FROM CDC- Gonorrhea Lectim

ALERT FROM CDC

Information about Gonorrhea Lectim ...


The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease it called Gonorrhea Lectim. It's pronounced "Gonna re-elect 'em," and it is a terrible obamanation.

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008 ... but now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-2 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.

It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose in 2010 and the second dose in 2012 and simply don't engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.

[/SNIP]

There is a technical term for putting one's cranium up the rectum. It's know as a Cranial-Rectal Inversion, which usually results with a crappy outlook on life. Until treated? Symptoms are quite persistant.

You Liberal/Statists? Take Note.

Spread of super-gonorrhoea 'big concern'...

Super-gonorrhoea's spread 'causing huge concern'
Sun, 17 Apr 2016 - Doctors say the spread of super-gonorrhoea widely across England and to gay men is causing "huge concern" about the ability to treat it in the future.

Doctors have expressed "huge concern" that super-gonorrhoea has spread widely across England and to gay men. The new superbug prompted a national alert last year when it emerged in Leeds, as one of the main treatments had become useless against it. Public Health England acknowledges measures to contain the outbreak have been of "limited success".

Doctors fear the sexually transmitted infection, which can cause infertility, could soon become untreatable. Cases of super-gonorrhoea have now been detected in the West Midlands, London and southern England. Only 34 cases have been officially confirmed in laboratory testing, but this is likely to be the tip of the iceberg of an infection that can be symptomless.

'Infections spread faster'

The outbreak started in straight couples, but is now being seen in gay men too. "We've been worried it would spread to men who have sex with men," Peter Greenhouse, a consultant in sexual health based in Bristol, told BBC News. "The problem is [they] tend to spread infections a lot faster simply as they change partners more quickly."

They are also more likely to have gonorrhoea in their throats. There further resistance is more likely to develop as antibiotics get to the throat in lower doses and the area is also teeming with other bacteria that can share the resistance to drugs. The bacterium that causes gonorrhoea is extremely adept at shrugging off our best antibiotics. So two drugs - azithromycin and ceftriaxone - are used in combination. But now resistance to azithromycin is spreading, doctors fear it is only a matter of time before ceftriaxone fails too.

Oral sex spreading unstoppable bacteria
Thu, 06 Jul 2017: If you get gonorrhoea, you might not be able to get rid of it, world health experts warn.

Oral sex is producing dangerous gonorrhoea and a decline in condom use is helping it to spread, the World Health Organization has said. It warns that if someone contracts gonorrhoea, it is now much harder to treat, and in some cases impossible. The sexually transmitted infection is rapidly developing resistance to antibiotics. Experts said the situation was "fairly grim" with few new drugs on the horizon. About 78 million people pick up the STI each year and it can cause infertility. The World Health Organization analysed data from 77 countries which showed gonorrhoea's resistance to antibiotics was widespread.

Dr Teodora Wi, from the WHO, said there had even been three cases - in Japan, France and Spain - where the infection was completely untreatable. She said: "Gonorrhoea is a very smart bug, every time you introduce a new class of antibiotics to treat gonorrhoea, the bug becomes resistant." Worryingly, the vast majority of gonorrhoea infections are in poor countries where resistance is harder to detect. "These cases may just be the tip of the iceberg," she added.

Throat infection

Gonorrhoea can infect the genitals, rectum and throat, but it is the last that is most concerning health officials. Dr Wi said antibiotics could lead to bacteria in the back of the throat, including relatives of gonorrhoea, developing resistance. She said: "When you use antibiotics to treat infections like a normal sore throat, this mixes with the Neisseria species in your throat and this results in resistance."

Gonorrhoea​

Thrusting gonorrhoea bacteria into this environment through oral sex can lead to super-gonorrhoea. "In the US, resistance [to an antibiotic] came from men having sex with men because of pharyngeal infection," she added. A decline in condom use, which had soared because of fears of HIV/Aids, is thought to help the infection spread.

WHO: Spread of Untreatable ‘Superbug’ Gonorrhea Imminent
July 07, 2017 - At least three people worldwide are infected with totally untreatable “superbug” strains of gonorrhea, which they are likely to be spreading to others through sex, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday.

Giving details of studies showing a “very serious situation” with regard to highly drug-resistant forms of the sexually transmitted disease (STD), WHO experts said it was “only a matter of time” before last-resort gonorrhea antibiotics would be of no use. “Gonorrhea is a very smart bug,” said Teodora Wi, a human reproduction specialist at the Geneva-based U.N. health agency. “Every time you introduce a new type of antibiotic to treat it, this bug develops resistance to it.”

78 million infected a year

The WHO estimates 78 million people a year get gonorrhea, an STD that can infect the genitals, rectum and throat. The infection, which in many cases has no symptoms on its own, can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy and infertility, as well as increasing the risk of getting HIV.

Wi, who gave details in a telephone briefing of two studies on gonorrhea published in the journal PLOS Medicine, said one had documented three specific cases, one each in Japan, France and Spain, of patients with strains of gonorrhea against which no known antibiotic is effective. “These are cases that can infect others. It can be transmitted,” she told reporters. “And these cases may just be the tip of the iceberg, since systems to diagnose and report untreatable infections are lacking in lower-income countries where gonorrhea is actually more common.”

Drug resistance

The WHO’s program for monitoring trends in drug-resistant gonorrhea found in a study that from 2009 to 2014 there was widespread resistance to the first-line medicine ciprofloxacin, increasing resistance to another antibiotic drugs called azithromycin, and the emergence of resistance to last-resort treatments known as extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs). In most countries, it said, ESCs are now the only single antibiotics that remain effective for treating gonorrhea. Yet resistance to them has been reported in 50 countries. Manica Balasegaram, director of the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership, said the situation was grim and there was a “pressing need” for new medicines.

Few new drugs coming

The pipeline, however, is very thin, with only three potential new gonorrhea drugs in development and no guarantee any will prove effective in final-stage trials, he said. “We urgently need to seize the opportunities we have with existing drugs and candidates in the pipeline,” he told reporters. “Any new treatment developed should be accessible to everyone who needs it, while ensuring it is used appropriately, so that drug resistance is slowed as much as possible.”

A bad case o' the nasties...

Man has 'world's worst' super-gonorrhoea
28 Mar`18 - A man in the UK has caught the world's "worst-ever" case of super-gonorrhoea. He had a regular partner in the UK, but picked up the superbug after a sexual encounter with a woman in south-east Asia.

Public Health England says it is the first time the infection cannot be cured with first choice antibiotics. Health officials are now tracing any other sexual partners of the man, who has not been identified, in an attempt to contain the infection's spread. He picked up the infection earlier in the year. The main antibiotic treatment - a combination of azithromycin and ceftriaxone - has failed to treat the disease. Dr Gwenda Hughes, from Public Health England, said: "This is the first time a case has displayed such high-level resistance to both of these drugs and to most other commonly used antibiotics." Discussions with the World Health Organization and the European Centres for Disease Control agree this is a world first.

What is gonorrhoea?

The disease is caused by the bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The infection is spread by unprotected vaginal, oral and anal sex. Of those infected, about one in 10 heterosexual men and more than three-quarters of women, and gay men, have no easily recognisable symptoms. But symptoms can include a thick green or yellow discharge from sexual organs, pain when urinating and bleeding between periods. Untreated infection can lead to infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease and can be passed on to a child during pregnancy.

Analysis of the man's infection suggests one last antibiotic could work. He is currently being treated and doctors will see if it has been successful next month. So far no other cases - including in the British partner - have been discovered, but the investigation is still under way. Dr Hughes added: "We are following up this case to ensure that the infection was effectively treated with other options and the risk of any onward transmission is minimised." Doctors have long been warning this could happen. In 2015, there was an outbreak of azithromycin-resistant gonorrhoea centred on Leeds.

The fear is the bug could eventually become untreatable by any antibiotic. Dr Olwen Williams, the president of the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV said: "The emergence of this new strain of highly resistant gonorrhoea is of huge concern and is a significant development. "We are concerned that the problem will worsen due to the dramatic cuts that have been delivered to the public health budget. "Worryingly this has left sexual health services at 'tipping point', with clinic closures coming at the worst possible time."

Super Gonorrhea Strain Thwarts 2 Main Drugs...

Gonorrhea Strain Thwarts 2 Main Drugs, Raising Concerns It's Becoming Untreatable
March 29, 2018 - A man in the U.K. has contracted a strain of gonorrhea that is resistant to the two main drugs used to treat it, according to British health officials. This is the latest in a long history of gonorrhea developing resistance to antibiotics – in fact, the World Health Organization has warned that doctors are running out of ways to treat it.

It's the first report of a gonorrhea case worldwide that is resistant to both ceftriaxone and azithromycin, the pair of drugs typically effective in treating the disease, according to Public Health England, a U.K. government agency. The strain showed high-level resistance to azithromycin and resistance to ceftriaxone. The patient in the U.K. was diagnosed in early 2018, and health officials believe he contracted the disease through "female sexual contact in south-east Asia a month prior to symptom onset." The man also had one "regular female partner in the UK," and she has not contracted the resistant gonorrhea, according to preliminary test results. After being treated, a throat swab testing for gonorrhea still came back positive. The patient is currently being treated through an IV with a different drug, ertapenem, which is related to ceftriaxone. He's showing signs of responding to the drug, though doctors are still waiting to say whether it is definitely effective. "We are following up this case to ensure that the infection was effectively treated with other options and the risk of any onward transmission is minimized," Gwenda Hughes from Public Health England tells the BBC.

The bacterium that causes gonorrhea, Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, has become resistant to multiple kinds of antibiotics.​

Gonorrhea has grown resistant to multiple kinds of drugs, as scientists struggle to come up with other effective, clear options that are well-studied. And as NPR has reported, "experience has shown that once a resistant strain of gonorrhea appears, it steadily displaces those that can be killed with antibiotics." In the 1970s and 80s, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea developed resistance to penicillin and tetracycline. More recently it also thwarted fluoroquinolones, a class of drugs that includes Cipro. Then, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, just one family of drugs – cephalosporins — still worked to treat it on its own. Ceftriaxone, used in the U.K. patient, is an injectable type of cephalosporin. But then strains that showed resistance to this family of drugs emerged. In 2010, the CDC started recommending that a cephalosporin be used in a dual treatment, accompanied by either doxycycline or azithromycin. "Little now stands between us and untreatable gonhorrea," the CDC has warned, identifying it as an urgent public health threat. That was before this latest news.

The CDC says that "thirty percent of new gonorrhea infections each year are resistant to at least one drug." But this appears to be the first case where it is resistant to both of them. The bacterium is able to mutate quickly to defend itself, as Jonathan Zenilman, who studies infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins, told NPR's Rob Stein about another recent mutation. "If this was a person, this person would be incredibly creative," Zenilman said. "The bug has an incredible ability to adapt and just develop new mechanisms of resisting the impact of these drugs." For women, gonorrhea increases the risk of a "life-threatening ectopic pregnancy," the CDC says, and for both men and women, it can lead to infertility and increase the chances of getting HIV. There are some 78 million gonorrhea infections annually, according to the World Health Organization.
