Man suffering from 'worst-ever' case of super-gonorrhea

A British man has contracted what health officials are calling the world's "worst-ever" case of super-gonorrhea.

The man, who was not identified, has a regular partner in the U.K., but was infected earlier this year during a sexual encounter with a woman in Southeast Asia, according to BBC News.

The main antibiotic treatment for the disease — a combination of azithromycin and ceftriaxone — failed to cure the infection, according to Public Health England. The two drugs were recommended in combination under new World Health Organization guidelines issued only last year.

"This is the first time a case has displayed such high-level resistance to both of these drugs and to most other commonly used antibiotics," said Public Health England's Dr. Gwenda Hughes.
