One of the women seems to have been infected on the European continent.
But for Nick Phin of Public Health in England, it is "unfair" to say that "supergonorrhea" is currently circulating in the region.
"In fact, this brings the message that these organisms will spread globally and that you can contract them in the UK," he said.
In Brazil, according to the Ministry of Health, there is no case of super resistant gonorrhea in the country. In the case of gonorrhea, although it is not a reportable disease in Brazil, it is estimated that 500,000 new cases will occur each year – with a prevalence of 40%. about 1.4% among 15 to 49 year olds.

When applying traditional treatment against the disease – a combination of azithromycin and ceftriaxone – experts have discovered that man has not responded to antibiotics.
The experts are now trying to find the badual partners of the two women who have registered the disease in the UK. "We try as much as possible to connect to contacts (people likely to be involved in the two women's transmission cycle) – but this can be difficult, especially if there are not any. details about them, "says Phin.

Neisseria gonorrhea rapidly developed resistance to new antibiotics
There are also more and more cases in Japan, Canada, and Australia.
