Drug resistant Gonorrhoea makes for sad times for Mr Happy

Multiple reports of non-treatable gonorrhoea have been reported in  Australia, Britain, France, Japan, Norway, Sweden, and Italy.  Reported cases of resistance to antibiotics used to treat gonorrhoea.

Gonorrhoea is  caused by the bacterium “Neisseria gonorrhoeae.” It is the second most common sexually transmitted infection. It is most prevalent among 16 to 24-year olds.

The bacteria can only live inside the human body, typically in the vagina, cervix, urethra, rectum, throat and eyes.
