A man in the UK who caught the world's "worst‑ever" case of super‑gonorrhoea has been cured.
Sexual health doctors say he was "very lucky" and the case was a "major wake‑up call for everybody".
He picked up the superbug having sex with a woman in South East Asia, despite having a British partner.
The BBC reports it was the first‑ever case of the infection being incurable with first choice antibiotics, but now two similar cases have been reported in Australia.
The original case came to light last month and was linked to travel earlier in the year.
The main antibiotic treatment failed to treat the disease.
A detailed analysis of his infection suggested one last antibiotic might work and he has since been treated.
Radio New Zealand reports now two similar cases have been reported in Queensland and Western Australia.
