The author shows his concern regarding Neisseria gonorrhoea, a sexually transmitted disease common in humans. He states that several countries including Australia, France and Japan have reported that the case of gonorrhoea is untreatable as it is resistant to antibiotic cephalosporin. He also suggests that research for new alternatives regarding the treatment of gonorrhoea must be prioritized and public health agencies should organize safe-sex educational programmes.
