Perspective and Numbers

Before everyone gets too excited here are some numbers from the article and note the info refers to the US and Japan.

"1.4 percent of patient samples showed growing ability to defeat cefixime in 2010 compared to just .2 percent in 2000. Resistance to ceftiaxone grew from .1 percent to .3 percent during the same period.

Then Sunday, a Japanese-European team presenting data at the International Society for Sexually Transmitted Disease Research meeting in Quebec City, Canada, publicly announced the discovery of a new strain of gonorrhea, H041, that displays a strong resistance to ceftriaxone."

Its referring to oral infection, so one would think you'd stay away from the Japanese bbbj provider, no?

H041, first found in a the pharynx of a Japanese sex worker, is 4- to 8-fold more resistant to ceftriaxone — the only form of cephalosporin used to treat that type of gonorrhea in the throat — than any strain ever found.
Not that there is much risk of finding an actual Japanese sp in Vancouver, in spite of all the advertising to the contrary.

The samples are very small, but it speaks to how the medical community are so on top of it, thank god. Nevertheless, they predicted this would happen and they consider it an important and significant development - and brings back old questions about the cycle of antibiotics and virus prevention. They emphasized in the article that they are watching and hoping that it does not spread. Three possible nightmare scenarios: 1) it spreads before they find an antibiotic, 2) continued cycle "creates" a strain that mutates so quickly they can't create an antibiotic fast enough, 3) that cycle "creates" a mutation that becomes something deadly like HIV.

There's a price to fucking around, you know.

There's a price to fucking around, you know.

Actually, what's more accurate to say is that there's a price to over using antibiotics. Gonorrhea isn't the only bacteria that has been mutating into becoming resistant to antibiotics. Lots of people (at least 150 000 worldwide) now die every year because of resistant bacteria. They're dying from diseases that were previously easily and quickly treated with antibiotics.


It's due to our over use (eg. to treat viruses, which aren't affected in any way by antibiotics), not following prescribed instructions (stopping before you're supposed to) and the absolute worst practice of giving low levels of antibiotics to factory farmed animals - partly to avoid disease (which would spread really quickly in those cramped, dirty conditions) but also because it promotes growth...and that means more money.


So this gonorrhea news is disturbing but it isn't exactly just isolated to this bacteria. And you don't have an option of "protecting" yourself from most of these other bacterias, especially the ones spreading via the food you eat. I think this is something we should be a lot more concerned about than we are..most people don't even realize this.



Until recently, research and development (R&D) efforts have provided new drugs in time to treat bacteria that became resistant to older antibiotics. That is no longer the case.The potential crisis at hand is the result of a marked decrease in industry R&D, and the increasing prevalence of resistant bacteria. Infectious disease physicians are alarmed by the prospect that effective antibiotics may not be available to treat seriously ill patients in the near future.

As bacterial antibiotic resistance continues to exhaust our supply of effective antibiotics, a global public health disaster appears likely. Poor financial investment in antibiotic research has exacerbated the situation. A call to arms raised by several prestigious scientific organisations a few years ago rallied the scientific community, and now the scope of antibacterial research has broadened considerably.

The pipeline of new antibiotics is drying up.[citation needed]Major pharmaceutical companies are losing interest in the antibiotics market because these drugs may not be as profitable as drugs that treat chronic (long-term) conditions and lifestyle issues.

Guess what huge country is close to Japan?

The real fear it will spread to China's sex workers.

The over-prescription of pirated antibiotics is widespread in China.

Chinese sex workers are exported around the world.

International travel means it will inevitably arrive in NA eventually.

Almost all common antibiotics are becoming useless and new ones are not on the horizon.
