Prevalence and antibiotic resistance of <i>Mycoplasma genitalium</i> among STI clinic attendees in Western Canada: a cross-sectional analysis

Abstract

The high prevalence of MG relative to CT and NG supports the incorporation of MG testing into routine sexually transmissible infection screening. The high rate of resistance to macrolides and moxifloxacin raises concerns about treatment options. The good concordance of results between urine and endocervical swabs supports the use of female urine specimens for testing.
