Basic Information about Antibiotic-Resistant Gonorrhea (ARG)
The development of antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a growing public health concern, in particular because only one remaining class of antibiotics is recommended for its treatment. Currently, the CDC STD treatment guidelines recommend that cephalosporin antibiotics be used to treat all gonococcal infections in the United States. Historically, gonorrhea has progressively developed resistance to the antibiotic drugs prescribed to treat it: drugs such as penicillin, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin. Thus, it is critical to continuously monitor antibiotic resistance in N. gonorrhoeae, and encourage research and development of new treatment regimens.
