Resistance-guided testing targeting a single gene mutation could let clinicians safely reintroduce ciprofloxacin for the majority of gonorrhea cases still susceptible to it, sparing ceftriaxone as resistance climbs worldwide. Lao-Tzu Allan-Blitz, MD, MPH, offers insights into his work in this area.

Here's the latest on the cyclosporiasis and jalapeño-linked Salmonella case numbers, plus an update on the resolved avocado inspection halt. Also included is information on a bacterial infection linked to shellfish, and a look at efforts affecting cyclosporiasis research.
