Listerine for gonorrhoea under the microscope again
OMEGA study underway investigating the reduction of transmission of gonorrhoea by using antiseptic mouthwash |
Early this year we reported that a study by Melbourne Sexual Health Centre (MSHC) researchers found that gargling with Listerine mouthwash could inhibit the growth of the bacteria responsible for pharyngeal gonorrhoea.
The study of gay and bisexual men, while preliminary, attracted global attention. It was widely reported in the media including in newspapers, on radio, online, YouTube and Twitter, and attracted what co-author Dr Eric Chow said was a "massive" amount of emails.
