Bloke ends up with ‘super-gonorrhoea’ after unprotected sex in Cambodia

A super-resistant strain of gonorrhoea has been discovered in a bloke after he is said to have had unprotected sex with a sex worker.

The unnamed Austrian man, believed to be in his 50s, contracted the super-gonorrhoea strain after an encounter with a sex worker in Cambodia.

He failed to wear a condom and has since become a medical oddity, with a super strain of the sexually transmitted disease inside of him that appears to be resistant to most usual medicines.

One scientist in charge of investigating the new strain has said it could pose "a major global public health threat."

A science journal reported that up to 13 different drugs had been tested on the bloke to try and rid him of his super-gonorrhoea, but that the new strand of the virus had been "resistant" to most drugs.

Sifting through medical jargon on the report revealed that a group of eight scientists had concluded the strand of super-gonorrhoea was "a concern for future treatment" of the disease.

They added that it would also pose a major global public health threat, with the gonorrhoea strand developing antibiotic resistance since the 1930s.

Most cases of gonorrhoea can be treated with a round of antibiotics, but no such luck for the Austrian man.

Scientists concluded that of the 13 drugs provided as a means of reducing the bloke's gonorrhoea, six were resistant, five were not available and two were "susceptible".

Penicillin G and Spectionmycin were listed as the two susceptible , with the former marked as "increased exposure" for the bloke's super-gonorrhoea.

The super strain was resistant to most other antibiotics, with the newly uncovered strain causing worries for the medical community.

Gonorrhoea can cause a burning sensation while peeing for men affected with the sexually transmitted disease, with the NHS saying the disease is "easily passed on during sex."
