Antibiotic-resistant gonorrhoea is increasingly becoming a public health concern in the UK, requiring immediate attention to prevent further spread and maintain treatability.
Between June 2022 and May 2024, UKHSA reported 15 cases of ceftriaxone-resistant gonorrhoea, highlighting a worrying trend compared to only nine cases previously identified.
Dr. Hamish Mohammed emphasizes the critical need for a comprehensive response, stating 'One case is a case too many,' underscoring the urgent public health implications.
The UKHSA maintains more data than ever before, allowing for effective surveillance and early identification of gonorrhoea cases to limit transmission.
