Overuse Of Antibiotic For COVID Can Lead To 'Super Gonorrhea': WHO

Overuse of certain antibiotics in COVID-19 treatment can induce more resiliency in sexually transmitted infection 'gonorrhea' towards the antibiotics available against it. Issuing the warning, the WHO said strain like 'super gonorrhea' can become 'extremely resistant' to antibiotics such as Azithromycin, which is being widely used in COVID treatments. Moreover, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said gonorrhea cases have increased 63% since 2014 that could facilitate HIV transmission as well.
