Gonorrhea Strain Proves Resistant

Article body:

Recently the Center for Disease Control and Prevention discovered a drug-resistant strain of gonorrhea, previously considered a curable STD that was relatively easy to treat.

The new strain is immune to the fluoroquinolone antibiotic in the form of a pill that doctors have readily prescribed for over a decade. From now on, the only guaranteed treatment for all cases is a shot of the cephalosporin antibiotic.
