<i>Mycoplasma genitalium</i> molecular typing in men with non-gonococcal urethritis discriminates between phylogenetic clusters based on sexual preference and antibiotic resistance.

ABSTRACT: Introduction. Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted bacterium associated with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) in men. The rising macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance in M. genitalium has become a public health concern, requiring close surveillance.Gap statement. MgpB/MG309 typing is commonly used to study genotype distribution and resistance patterns of M. genitalium in men who have sex with men (MSM); however, data for men who have sex with women (MSW) are limited.Aim. The aim of this study was to explore the epidemiology of M. genitalium based on mgpB/MG309 molecular typing in isolates from men diagnosed with NGU, comparing MSM and MSW. Additionally, antibiotic resistance was evaluated to assess associati
