Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Current knowledge of Mycoplasma genitalium fluoroquinolone resistance is based on sequence analyses of clinical samples, an approach with limited scope. Many potential resistance mutations have been described but their impact on moxifloxacin efficacy is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of individual mutations on fluoroquinolone resistance through selection of moxifloxacin-resistant...
