A cure for so-called 'super gonorrhoea' may be on the horizon following a scientific breakthrough. When gonorrhoea is resistant to one of two antibiotics recommended to treat it, it is known as super gonorrhoea. Patients with super gonorrhoea can be given some other treatments which might work but can have unpleasant side effects. The fear is that further antibiotics, including several last-resort drugs, will be overcome by super gonorrhoea as it evolves. Super gonorrhoea is one of many antibiotic-resistant infections which together kill an estimated 700,000 people worldwide each year.
