Super gonorrhea spreads to 19 countries and 26 states
The CDC reports a penicillin resistant gonorrhea strain found in 19 countries and 26 U.S. states with 228 confirmed U.S. cases since March 1976. Experts note resistance to penicillin but say the threat remains manageable, with spectinomycin as an alternative. Cases appear in California, Hawaii, Utah, New Jersey, Missouri, and others, plus Guam. World Health Organization warns member nations while officials stress ongoing containment and surveillance. A separate note covers Rutgers pigeon disease conference, drawing about 150 fanciers and estimating one million racing pigeons airborne on weekends.
