High levels of macrolide resistance-associated mutations in<i>Mycoplasma genitalium</i>warrant antibiotic susceptibility-guided treatment

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted pathogen, and infection with it is usually treated with macrolides. Unfortunately, emerging resistance to the macrolides has been associated with mutations in region V of the 23S rRNA gene. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the incidence of macrolide resistance-associated mutations in M. genitalium from patients in the Netherlands....
