“…The presence of macrolide resistance‐associated mutations in M. genitalium has increased substantially during the last 10 years in Sweden, and this trend has also been described in many other countries . Hopefully, the increase in macrolide resistance can be mitigated by decreasing the selection pressure of azithromycin through decreased consumption of azithromycin in general, use of doxycycline instead of azithromycin for empirical first‐line therapy of NGU and C. trachomatis , and routine macrolide resistance testing of all M. genitalium ‐positive samples .…”

“…Resistance to moxifloxacin is the result of mutations in the quinolone resistance‐determining region (QRDR) of the parC gene, primarily causing amino acid changes at positions S83 and D87 ( M. genitalium numbering) of ParC, which is together with ParE constituting the topoisomerase IV enzyme . In the recent years, several international studies have shown increasing prevalence of resistance to both macrolides [reported rates of 5–100% ] and fluoroquinolones in M. genitalium . Studies in Japan and Australia have reported 37–47% and up to 15%, respectively, of possible fluoroquinolone resistance‐associated alterations in parC .…”

“…With rates of macrolide resistance as high as 40% in parts of the world,3 4 7 moxifloxacin may be used more commonly which could also cause an increase in the selection of quinolone-resistant variants also leaving limited treatment options. So far, it is likely that quinolone resistance is rare in England; small studies have shown isolates in symptomatic men and women harbouring mutations in both macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance associated genes 3 5 8. Most cases of dual resistance have been observed in the Asia/Pacific region 1 4 6.…”

“…Такие мутации чаще всего приводят к заме-нам остатков серина и других полярных ами-нокислот в области, окружающей активные центры (в случае субъединиц GyrA и ParC) и остатков аминокислот в областях форми-рующих среду, окружающую реакционные цент ры GyrA и ParC (в случае GyrB и ParE). В целом набор мутаций у разных видов одно-типен [46], хотя отмечаются некоторые осо-бенности. Структура субъединиц гиразы и то-поизомеразы у микоплазм отдельных видов может различаться [30], чем можно объяснить значительные вариации в восприимчивости к тем или иным фторхинолонам.…”

“…До 50% изолятов M. genitalium невосприим-чивы к тетрациклину [10], устойчивы к мак-ролидам -17,2-43,4% [18,46,76], а около 15% -к фторхинолонам [14]. Доля устойчивых к макролидам штаммов M. pneumoniae может достигать 80% [37,85].…”
