Mycoplasma genitalium is one of the obligate pathogens that cause sexually transmitted diseases. To detect this pathogen in routine practice, only molecular genetic methods are used that are also used to identify the resistance of MGE to antibiotics. The first-line drugs for the treatment of diseases caused by MGE, are tetracycline and macrolides. In recent years, many countries have increasingly recorded cases of unsuccessful therapy macrolides. Mutations that confer antibiotic resistance to macrolides for Mycoplasm genitalium are concentrated in nucleotide positions 2058 and 2059 in region V of the 23S rRNA gene. Unknown status of macrolide resistance M. genitalium can lead to the development of a persistent infection. We describe the first reported cases of clinical josamycin treatment failure from patient with ure - thritis. The reason for antibiotic resistance was a mutation in the 23S rRNA of MGE as a nucleotide substitution in position A2058G.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
