Prevalence of Mycoplasma genitalium and Antibiotic Resistance-Associated Mutations in Patients at a Sexually Transmitted Infection Clinic in Iceland, and Comparison of the S-DiaMGTV and Aptima Mycoplasma genitalium Assays for Diagnosis.

is prevalent among attendees in sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics, and therapy is hampered by rapidly rising levels of resistance to azithromycin and moxifloxacin. In this study, we evaluated, for the first time in Iceland, the prevalence of and azithromycin and moxifloxacin resistance-associated mutations and assessed the diagnostic performance of the CE/ diagnosis (IVD)-marked S-DiaMGTV (Diagenode Diagnostics) versus the U.S.

Changing epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Iceland from 2000 to 2008: a challenge to current guidelines.

The epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is continuously changing. Iceland has a low incidence of MRSA. A "search and destroy" policy (screening patients with defined risk factors and attempting eradication in carriers) has been implemented since 1991.

Molecular typing of Beta-hemolytic streptococci from two patients with lower-limb cellulitis: identical isolates from toe web and blood specimens.

Intertriginous toe webs harboring cellulitis-causing bacteria constitute a risk factor for lower-limb cellulitis. Molecular typing of Streptococcus pyogenes and S. dysgalactiae subsp.
