Autochthonous transmission of extensively drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Germany, 2025
We report four confirmed autochthonously transmitted gonorrhoea cases in Germany in 2025, with Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates exhibiting high-level azithromycin and cefixime resistance. Regarding ceftriaxone, isolates were susceptible for two cases and resistant for two, rendering the later extensively drug-resistant (XDR-NG). Cases, all heterosexual males, were in their late teens to mid-60s. Three isolates were MLST ST18091, with the mosaic penA-60.001 allele and the 23S rRNA A2045G mutation and were related to an XDR-NG detected in the United Kingdom in 2024.

STI rates coming down, but still lots of work to do. This is a combination of public health efforts, doxyPEP, regular screening and treatment, and expedited partner therapy. Congenital syphilis STILL INCREASING though and requires regular testing 3x in pregnancy where high rates of syphilis #STISky

Great advice! Monogamous, non-monogamous, whatever your orientation, relationship dynamic, or gender, there are many tools to protect yourself and your partners. Planned parenthood is a great option. #sexualhealth #prep #stisky #prepisforeverybody #hivsky
Taking a break from my usual #cooking content to talk about #sexualhealth - I believe in pleasure activism, and part of feeling good is staying as healthy as you can. I get tested every six months minimum. If I have a new partner, I’m also happy to go test for their comfort level.
