gonorrhea caused by which bacteria :: Article Creator New Antibiotic Targets Drug-Resistant Gonorrhea This novel antibiotic activates an existing "suicide" mechanism in gonococci The increase of microbes resistant to antibiotics is a growing problem. These include, for example, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium which causes gonorrhea. Researchers from the universities in Konstanz and Vienna discover a new class of antibiotic that selectively targets Neisseria gonorrhoeae. These substances trigger a self-destruction program, which also operates in multi-resistant variants of the pathogen. This type of treatment could be used in an adapted form against other pathogens, so the scientists have made a real breakthrough in the fight against superbugs. The results have been published in the renowned journal Nature Microbiology. In recent years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly warned of the increase in microbes r...
