淋病曾经被认为是发达国家的公害，现在已成为世界范围内的主要公共卫生问题。1960年代和1970年代，许多发达国家报告的疾病迅速增加，随后发病率稳定或下降。这可能反映了淋病控制计划的改善或性行为的改变。近年来，国外引进的耐药菌株对发达国家的冲击越来越大。然而，淋病有所增加，表明需要加强控制方案。鉴定淋球菌菌株的新方法使人们能够调查淋病的分布和传播方式。未来使用这些方法的研究将提供淋病的生态学和流行病学的宝贵知识。在发展中国家，由耐药的淋病奈瑟氏球菌引起的淋病。淋病已成为高度流行病。除非发展中国家在控制淋病方面取得一些成功，否则发达国家目前淋病发病率的下降可能无法维持。
Once considered a public nuisance of the developed countries, gonorrhea is now established as a leading worldwide public health problem. The rapid increase in reported disease in many developed countries noted in the 1960s and 1970s has been followed by stable or declining disease rates. This may reflect improved gonorrhea control programs or changes in sexual behavior. The assault on the developed countries by imported antibiotic-resistant strains of N. gonorrhoeae has increased, however, indicating the need for intensive control programs. New methods of identifying strains of gonococci have allowed investigation of the distribution and patterns of transmission of gonorrhea. Future studies using these methods will provide valuable knowledge of the ecology and epidemiology of gonorrhea. Within the developing countries, gonorrhea caused by resistant strains of N. gonorrhoeae has become hyperendemic. The current decreases of gonorrhea incidence in the developed countries may not be maintained unless some success is attained in the control of gonorrhea in developing countries.
