A man in the UK has been infected with super-gonorrhoea

In not-so-funny news, a UK man has been infected with super-gonorrhoea, a strain resistant to all types of antibiotics. Apparently, the WHO issued a report in July 2018 about drug-resistant gonorrhoea that is cropping up in 77 countries. In 81 percent of the countries, the infections were resistant to azithromycin, while 66 percent found an increased resistance to ceftriaxone. An assistant professor at Harvard says the latest case is “very concerning.” Experts blame the overuse of antibiotics.
