Objectives: The cell wall-less species Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted pathogen with strong tendency to acquire resistance. Current knowledge about trends of resistance rates and differences between the risk population of men who have sex with men (MSM) and heterosexual patients as well as about circulating genotypes in both groups is limited.

Methods: Between August 2017 and December 2023, M.

The increasing prevalence of infections with macrolide-resistance, causing high azithromycin failure rates, is a major concern internationally. In response to this challenge, diagnostics that simultaneously detect and genetic markers for macrolide-resistance enable the therapy to be individually tailored, i.e.

Objectives: Mycoplasma genitalium, a sexually transmitted bacterium, faces increasing antibiotic resistance, particularly to azithromycin. However, presence of macrolide resistance-associated mutations (MRAMs) does not evidently implicate azithromycin treatment failure. This study aimed to establish an in vitro co-culture system of M.
