Lack of Association Between the S83I ParC Mutation in Mycoplasma genitalium and Treatment Outcomes Among Men Who Have Sex With Men with Nongonococcal Urethritis

Abstract

From February 2015 to October 2017, among 20 men who have sex with men with Mycoplasma genitalium-associated nongonococcal urethritis, 15% had macrolide resistance and S83I ParC mutations. Azithromycin followed by moxifloxacin cleared Mycoplasma genitalium in 2 of 2 with and 11 of 13 without S83I mutations. Dual failures were cleared after doxycycline. S83I mutations were not associated with moxifloxacin failure.
