Austrian man catches drug-resistant strain of STI from Cambodian prostitute as experts claim virus poses ‘major global threat’
Super gonorrhea poses a ‘major global threat’, scientists have warned in the wake of an Austrian man catching a drug-resistant version of the STI.
The unidentified man, in his 50s, became infected after having unprotected sex with a prostitute while on holiday in Cambodia in April.
Five days later, when he returned home, he experienced a burning pain while urinating and discharge from his penis.
Medical tests revealed he had gonorrhea and he was given standard antibiotics.
While the drugs made his symptoms disappear, the man still tested positive — which meant the treatment had technically failed.
Doctors called his strain ‘extensively drug resistant’ and different to ones seen before.
They warned it could effectively render gonorrhea untreatable, if it was allowed to spread.
Lead author of the report, Dr Sonja Pleininger of the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety, said such strains ‘poses a major global public health threat’.
‘If such strains manage to establish a sustained transmission, many gonorrhea cases might become untreatable,’ she said.

Why would anyone be this stupid?

Similar to the "Black Clap" of Vietnam. Drug-resistant strain that survived rounds and rounds of penicillin.

His wurst nightmare
Re: Austrian man catches drug-resistant strain of STI
I bet he's actually Australian. Austrians seem far to mature and responsible for this behavior. Australians on the other hand.....

and...
...of the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety,
Anyway, he was cured with a a course of co-amoxiclav, available in any pharmacy in PP.
The man was eventually treated with a week-long course of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, a combination antibiotic treatment. He later tested negative.
