Gonorrhea a growing concern for gay men
ATLANTA (AP) --The government is expected to recommend this week that doctors switch to another antibiotic for treating gonorrhea because of an alarming rise in drug-resistant cases of the sexually transmitted disease, top experts said Monday. In Seattle, health officials have already revised their guidelines, as resistant cases of gonorrhea increased
rom 3.8 percent to 16.5 percent last year. About 90 percent of those cases were among gay and bisexual men, officials said. The class of antibiotics commonly used to treat gonorrhea, including Cipro,

r
is
no longer effective against certain strains of the bacte
ria, said Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, deputy health officer and director of STD prevention for the San Francisco Department of Public Health. In place of Cipro, administered as a pill, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention is expected to recommend ceftriaxone, which is less convenient because it is injected, Klausner told the Associated Press. Another recommended drug, cefixime, is in pill form but is no longer made in the United States.
