Recently, a high-level ceftriaxone-resistant strain of gonorrhea called H041 was discovered in Japan. Lab tests found it to be resistant to high concentrations of ceftriaxone, as well as most of the other antibiotics tested. Within "N. gonorrhoeae", genes exist that confer resistance to every single antibiotic used to cure gonorrhea, but thus far they do not coexist within a single gonococcus. However, because of "N. gonorrhoeae"s high affinity for horizontal gene transfer, antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea is seen as an emerging public health threat.
