Extensively drug-resistant gonorrhoeae in Germany
As of 9 October 2025, a total of four locally acquired cases of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Neisseria gonorrhoea were reported in 2025. A strong molecular connection was confirmed between three of these cases. All infections occurred in heterosexual adults living in the same geographical region of Germany, with no recent history of travel abroad. These are the first known locally acquired XDR/MDR Neisseria gonorrhoea cases in Germany. Please see UKHSA guidance on gonorrhoea for further details.
