The Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria is resistant to a number of antibiotics So-called ‘super gonorrhoea’ could have finally met its match in a brand new antibiotic – the first new treatment in decades for the globally troublesome sexually transmitted infection . More than 82 million new gonorrhoea infections are recorded worldwide every year, making it the third most common STI.
‘In addition to the potential benefits for patients with infections with resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the potential lack of cross-resistance with other antibiotics and the oral route of administration will simplify gonorrhoea therapy for clinicians worldwide.’ However, laboratory tests showed Neisseria gonorrhoeae can evolve resistance to zoliflodacin, and so the drug is being developed only as a treatment for STIs and will not be used to treat other diseases.
