Gonorrhea Is Showing Resistance To One Antibiotic [1]

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found that one of the antibiotic treatment options for gonorrhea seems to be losing its effectiveness [2]. In a new report, officials share that their latest tracking suggests that resistance to the antibiotic treatment cefixime began to increase in 2014. You can find more information on these findings in a research letter published in the November 3, 2015 issue [3] of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
