Gonorrhea May Soon Be Resistant to all Antibiotics
Gonorrhea may soon become untreatable.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday that the wily Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria may be developing resistance to the only two antibiotics left that can cure the sexually transmitted disease.
The drugs, azithromycin and ceftriaxone, are used in combination to treat gonorrhea, a strategy experts hope will prolong the period during which these critical drugs will work.
But a nationwide surveillance program showed rises in the percentage of gonorrhea samples that were resistant to one or the other drug in 2014. In the case of azithromycin, there was a fourfold rise in the portion of samples that were resistant.
The rates are still modest: the percentage of samples resistant to azithromycin rose from 0.6 percent to 2.5 percent, and for ceftriaxone it doubled, from 0.4 percent to 0.8 percent. But these are red flags for scientists tracking gonorrhea’s march through the antibiotic armamentarium.

Quote
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.
The Prayer of St. Francis (Anonymous)

“I am a Muslim. I am a pediatrics nurse. I am a Muslim pediatric nurse. After graduating nursing school so many things came to mind like “I need to start applying for jobs.” I remember getting very nervous due to some hatred that I have received for being a Muslim and wearing a hijab. In nursing school we had a clinical at the VA. I was assigned to a patient and was taking care of him. He made a few remarks about my religion and it was obvious he wasn’t thrilled I was assigned to him. I remember him asking me what I was going to do after I graduate. I simply replied I want to be an OB nurse or Pediatrics nurse which to he responded “as long as you don’t strap any bombs on them then maybe we can get along.” I remember how sad I felt after he said that. I continued to take care of him and showed him how passionate I was about nursing. My last day assigned to him I went into his room to say goodbye and thanked him for allowing me to care for him and he said “you know, you’re not bad after all. I wish you luck with your future endeavors.” I thanked him again and went on to graduate. I now work at a pediatrics office and have the opportunity to see and help treat the best patients ever. I love how innocent kids are and how they accept anyone regardless to race/religion. I wear patterned hijabs and they absolutely love it! I am helping make a difference in this world just like any other nurse! Children are not born racist and I hope and pray that the children I see at our office remember me when they are older and someone is bad mouthing Muslims. I hope and pray that they stand up and say not all Muslims are bad…my nurse is a Muslim and she helps me when I’m sick. They may never remember my name but I pray they remember the amount of time I spent with them at the office more than I can even spend time with my own child. I am a Muslim pediatrics nurse and I am very proud of it. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else other than putting a smile on the kids faces and giving the parents a peaceful mind! Thank you to all my nurses that I’ve encountered in my life time thus far. Every nurse makes a difference regardless of race/religion.“
