Prevalence of Mycoplasma genitalium infection and antibiotic resistance in Navarra (North Spain)
2019
Mycoplasma genitalium is increasingly recognised as a significant sexually transmitted pathogen. Increasing rates of antibiotic resistance pose a major concern. In August 2015–October 2018, we used reverse transcription PCR to detect M. genitalium in patients with suspected STIs (urethral, endocervical/vaginal, rectal swabs and urines) and with suspicion of urinary tract infection, leukocyturia and negative urine culture.
