Challenges of in vitro propagation and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Mycoplasma genitalium

Abstract excerpt

The sexually transmitted bacterial pathogen Mycoplasma genitalium has proved a complex organism to work with in the laboratory setting. Exhibiting an extremely fastidious nature, successful in vitro propagation of M. genitalium has remained elusive for many researchers. Antimicrobial resistance to both first- and second-line recommended therapies (macrolides and fluoroquinolones, respectively) is commonly...
