Abstract excerpt
Doxycycline targets the 16S rRNA and is widely used for the treatment of sexually transmitted infections. While it is not highly effective at eradicating Mycoplasma genitalium infections, it can reduce organism load. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 16S rRNA gene of M. genitalium and change in organism load. M. genitalium samples were...
