Antimicrobial resistance in bacterial sexually transmitted infections
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is a global public health concern. Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium are emerging ‘superbugs’ that have developed AMR to all antimicrobials used in their treatment, and treatment failures have been reported. There is a very real threat that these infections could become untreatable in the future. Although syphilis and chlamydia infections are easily treated with first-line antimicrobials, macrolide resistance has emerged in Treponema pallidum, and there is a concern that AMR could potentially develop in Chlamydia trachomatis.
