Direct Detection of Macrolide Resistance in Mycoplasma genitalium Isolates from Clinical Specimens from France by Use of Real-Time PCR and Melting Curve Analysis
27 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted organism commonly treated with azithromycin. However, macrolide resistance has been reported and is associated with point mutations in the 23S rRNA gene. To evaluate the prevalence of macrolide resistance in M. genitalium isolates from clinical specimens from France, we first used a previously reported high-resolution melting assay. Because susceptible and resistant...
