WHO estimates: 357 million new cases of four curable STIs in adults (15-49 years), 2012 1 million new cases of STI/day Chlamydia ( 131 million), Gonorrhoea ( 78 million), Syphilis ( 6 million), Trichomoniasis ( 142 million) 3 Newman, Rowley, Vander Horn, Wijesooriya, Unemo, Low et al. Plos One. 2015
Solved? Challenges with STIs Remaining? - High incidence - Natural course Severe sequelae, incl. infertility and HIV transmission - Low number of etiologically diagnosed STIs - Suboptimal diagnostics, testing, case reporting, and treatment in many countries - High cost, especially as DALYs - Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in N. gonorrhoeae, M. genitalium (MG), T. vaginalis, T. pallidum 4
WHO global estimates: 78 million new gonorrhoea cases in 2012 4.7 million 4.5 million 35.2 million 11.0 million 11.4 million 11.4 million 5 Newman, Rowley, Vander Horn, Wijesooriya, Unemo, Low et al. Plos One. 2015
- 52 995 cases in 28 countries - 16.9 per 100 000 population - 60% in UK; incidence varies based on testing and diagnostic assays

Increased doses of ceftriaxone Limited time period (based on the MICs of N. gonorrhoeae Superbugs, pharmacodynamics and resistance emergence)! 2.

Third line: Pristinamycin 1 g four times daily in 10 days: 90% cure rate as third line! (or doxycycline treating 30% of cases) Future options?: solithromycin, sitafloxacin, zoliflodacin, gepotidacin, lefamulin, (spectinomycin, omadacycline, eravacycline), dual antimicrobial therapy?

- Different epidemiology in different countries (heterosexuals, MSM, IDUs; domestic/imported) - Increase diagnostic testing in many settings, especially of hard-to-reach populations positive patients into care! - Increase availability of appropriate tests and increased use of 4 th generation tests (traditional and POC tests) - Increase availability of effective antiretrovirals and new drugs, and follow up (appropriate tests) 47
