Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), a sexually transmitted infection (STI), has emerged as a common cause of non-gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis worldwide, with documented resistance to commonly used antibiotics including doxycycline and azithromycin. Data in Ghana regarding the prevalence of MG is limited. METHODS: This retrospective study investigated MG presence and macrolide resistance among patients...
