How do you breed antibiotic resistant gonorrhea without giving antibiotics to someone with gonorrhea? Giving someone a mild dose to treat some other infection, but not enough to properly treat the gonorrhea?

I think if we are serious about antibiotic use in humans, we need to test for pathogens before or during treatment. Is there a mechanism to affordably do a broad spectrum screening of infections?
