Which antibiotic kill Syphilis

I got syphilis  then i got 3 benzathene penicilins for 3 weeks. It didn't cured, my disease progressed to Neurosyphilis.
Then i got 10 days of IV crystaline penicilin. Still it didn't cure. Seems syphilis bacteria has got resistance.
Still I am getting headache, irritability, muscle pains, joint pains.

Which antibiotic kills syphilis bacteria?

Ah, now it becomes clear:  you don't have syphilis and never did. And you are intentionally misleading forum users about antibiotic resistance. You cite 10 year old stories and data, well known among STD and infectious diseases specialists, about resistance to a particular class of drugs that has nothing to do with penicillin.

That's my last comment on this thread. Move on.

Thanks for the reply. I have seen UC doctors/denver public health.
RPR done 10 times. The result is negative all the times. TPPA 2 times, its also negative.   But i have syphilitic sore, gammas, muscle weakness, headache, irritability, joint pains, knee pains, eyes are itchy,pain,reddish.  Many doctors dont know that negative result does not rule out syphilis. 70% of CSF VDRL are also false negatives.

There is a strain of antibiotic resistance syphilis is spreading.  Please go through below    links.

IV penicilin aqueous crystalline g usually gets resistance.

The first part of your story is common: failure of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) to cure syphilis because of underlying neurosyphilis -- because BPG gives very low blood levels of penicillin, insufficient to penetrate the brain and spinal fluid.

However, there is virtually no chance that high dose IV pencillain failed to cure you. Symptoms are not the measure of whether or not syphlis is cured; the results of syphilis tests on blood and spinal fluid are the important thing. There is no antibotic superior to penicillin for treating syphilis.

These are complex issues, well beyond the expertise of a community forum. Continue to work with your doctors. If in doubt, take an hour's trip south to Denver and see the world class syphils experts at UC and/or Denver Public Health.  Good luck.
