Mycoplasma genitalium molecular typing in men with non-gonococcal urethritis discriminates between phylogenetic clusters based on sexual preference and antibiotic resistance

Abstract excerpt

Introduction. Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted bacterium associated with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) in men. The rising macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance in M. genitalium has become a public health concern, requiring close surveillance. Gap statement. MgpB/MG309 typing is commonly used to study genotype distribution and resistance patterns of M. genitalium in men who have sex with men...
