\"\"<\/p>\n

Doctors have expressed concerns over a new strain of antibiotic-resistant<\/a> bacteria discovered in groups of gay<\/a> men<\/a> in Seattle and Montreal.<\/p>\n

Scientists identified a new strain of Campylobacter coli, an infection that causes abdominal pains and diarrhea. Normally the infection clears on its own, though in severe cases treatment may involve antibiotics. The new cluster of Campylobacter coli appears resistant to antibiotics on a sub-DNA level, the first time any kind of such resistance has ever been documented.<\/p>\n

Dr. Alex Greninger, the lead researcher into the matter, along with his colleagues published their findings in the\u00a0Oxford Academic<\/em> earlier this week. <\/a>Their study has linked the new strains of Campylobacter coli to one another on the genetic level. The discovery of the bacteria exclusively in gay<\/a> men<\/a> also suggests that the disease is sexually transmitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnteric infections can be sexually-transmitted infections,\u201d Greninger said<\/a>. \u201cThe international spread of related isolates among MSM populations has been shown before for Shigella [another bacterial infection, similar to E. coli],\u00a0<\/em>so it makes sense to see it in Campylobacter, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greninger and his associates caution that gay<\/a> men<\/a> are at higher risk for contracting multidrug-resistant intestinal pathogens both because, as a group, they often practice anal sex<\/a> which exposes them to more intestinal bacteria. Gay men<\/a> are also at risk, as many have taken antibiotics to cure other sexually-transmitted infections. They caution that an alternative form of treatment for this new strain of Campylobacter coli has not been determined, and that routine tests for STIs generally do not include tests for Campylobacter coli.<\/p>\n
