Prevalence of<i>Mycoplasma genitalium</i>and macrolide resistance among asymptomatic people visiting a point of care service for rapid STI screening: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

The research provides further data regarding the prevalence of MG and macrolide resistance among asymptomatic individuals. It also identifies higher risk subpopulations which might be targets for MG screening. Nevertheless, there is insufficient data to justify MG testing among asymptomatic individuals and current STI guidelines should be followed until evidence shows the cost and effectiveness of screening.
