Revise: Bacterial diseasesSalmonella food poisoning and gonorrhoea are both bacterial diseases, but they enter the body by different routes. Understanding each route helps explain how its spread can be controlled.
For gonorrhoea control, give antibiotics and a barrier method of contraception such as a condom. Not all contraceptive methods prevent infection.
Antibiotic resistance belongs to the bacteria, not the patient. Do not assume penicillin will treat resistant gonorrhoea.
