A health warning reports that a drug-resistant bacteria transmitted through male-to-male sexual contact is spreading at twice the rate of regular strains, raising concerns about treatment options.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The Zioneer has previously reported on the growing threat of drug-resistant superbugs, including a study by Hebrew University researchers warning of risks to vision in animals and humans (July 3). This new warning, also from The Zioneer, highlights a specific bacteria transmitted through male-to-male sexual contact that is resistant to antibiotics and spreads at twice the rate of regular strains. The report did not name the bacteria or provide specific details on the source of the warning. The warning adds to concerns about the spread of antibiotic resistance in community settings.
