ATLANTA - The sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea is now among the "superbugs" resistant to common antibiotics, leading U.S. health officials to recommend wider use of a different class of drugs to avert a public health crisis.
The resistant form accounts for more than one in every four gonorrhea cases among heterosexual men in Philadelphia and nearly that many in San Francisco, according to a survey that led to Thursday's recommendation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Gonorrhea, which is believed to infect more than 700,000 people in the United States each year, can leave both men and women infertile and puts people at higher risk of getting the AIDS virus.
Since the early 1990s, a class of drugs known as fluoroquinolones has provided a relatively easy cure. These antibiotics, taken as tablets, include the drug Cipro.
But a growing number of gonorrhea cases is resistant to those drugs, and officials at the CDC for the first time are urging doctors to stop using fluoroquinolones and switch to cephalosporins, a different class of antibiotics, to treat everyone.
Holding AG - must be given as a shot and aren't as readily stocked as Cipro on most doctor's shelves.
"Gonorrhea has now joined the list of other superbugs for which treatment options have become dangerously few," said Dr. Henry Masur, president of the Infectious Disease Society of America. "To make a bad problem even worse, we're also seeing a decline in the development of new antibiotics to treat these infections."
The CDC made the new recommendation after discovering that nearly 7 percent of gonorrhea cases among heterosexual men in a survey of 26 U.S. cities last year were drug-resistant. In 2001, only about 0.6 percent of gonorrhea cases among heterosexual men were drug-resistant.
"That leaves us with a single class of highly effective antibiotics," said Dr. John Douglas Jr., director of the CDC's division of STD prevention. Other experts called the situation perilous.
"We are running out of options to treat this disease," added Douglas, who said there are "no new drugs for gonorrhea in the drug development pipeline."
Previously, CDC recommended against fluoroquinolones to treat drug-resistant gonorrhea among men who have sex with men and in certain states, including California and Hawaii where most of these cases were turning up.
Described by Douglas as a "very wily" disease, gonorrhea has worked its way through decades of other treatment regimens, from sulfa drugs used in the 1930s and 1940s, to penicillin, which was used from the 1940s until the mid-1980s.
Gonorrhea, spread through sexual contact, is the second most commonly reported infectious disease in the United States, trailing only chlamydia, which the CDC says affects more than 2.1 million people yearly in the U.S.
The highest rates of infection are among sexually active teens, young adults and African-Americans. Because many people don't have obvious symptoms, they can unknowingly spread it to others. Gonorrhea's spread is preventable through consistent and proper use of condoms, experts said.

She's not only the President of the CDC's Sexually Transmitted Disease Division, she's also a member.

I fainted last night and now I have a big knot on the back of my head.
I got home from work and ran 4 miles on my treadmill and then went to my Y to play basketball.After that I was pretty exausted but I was trying to meet up with my guy to get a bag.So its about 10 PM and I'm in a bar and the guys late of course so I have 4 beers in about an hour.I had nothing to eat all day,breakfast lunch or dinner so I'm not really feeling fucked up to bad more like my stomach is hurting.The guy shows up from work and says Ive got to meet him at his house to get the thing so we do that and he asks if I want to get a beer.He was kind of doing me a favor so I said yea figuring I was going to smoke a little anyway.We get to the bar and my stomach is killing me but I'm not drunk.15 minutes and a quater way into my 5th beer nasuea hits me like a wave.I immediatly stand up and say I gotta go I'm going to puke.So I walk out into the parking lot of this bar (its a shithole and wasnt busy) and all the sudden the next thing I remember I'm laying face up in the parking lot.I was only down for a second or two so I pick myself up and drag my ass to my car all the way feeling like I'm going to pass out.I get in the car and I'm like theres no way I'm driving.So I try to call my friend in the bar but it was a struggle.He comes out like a minute later and realizes I'm in bad shape and gives me a ride home.I woke up this morning with the biggest lump on the back of my head and my hips all fucked up.Moral of the story is 5 to 6 miles + no food all day + 4 beers in an hour + weed = mild concussion.
Edit: I know thats not professional.

We won two of three.My jumper was off(2-6?) but the guy covering me fell for every pump fake and I ate him up inside so I probably averaged 6 out of 15 each game.
