parC Variants in Mycoplasma genitalium: Trends over Time and Association with Moxifloxacin Failure.

ABSTRACT: Prevalence, trends, and treatment outcome estimates were generated for parC variants in macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma genitalium. Among 539 cases, the most common amino acid change was S83I, which increased from 13% in 2012 to 2013, to 23% in 2019 to 2020 (P_trend = 0.046). From 381 moxifloxacin treatments, failure occurred in 58.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 46.7 to 69.9) of cases with S83I. Other changes affecting S83 or D87 were uncommon and minor contributors to failure. The absence of S83I was highly predictive of moxifloxacin cure (96.4%; 95% CI, 93.7 to 98.2), highlighting diagnostic potential.

Project description:BackgroundTraditional drug susceptibility testing cannot be performed in clinical laboratories due to the slow-growing characteristics of Mycoplasma genitalium when cultured in vitro. Sanger sequencing is the standard method for detecting drug resistance-associated mutations. It has been used in some laboratories to guide the choice of macrolide antibiotics for Mycoplasma genitalium infected patients. Furthermore, resistance to fluoroquinolone has become another emerging clinical challenge.ObjectiveSequencing analysis can detect unknown mutations, but it is time-consuming, requires professional analytical skills and the appropriate testing equipment. The main objective of this study was to establish a nested real-time PCR method for the simultaneous detection of 23S rRNA and parC genotypes in relation to the macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance.Results105 MG-positive samples and 27 samples containing other pathogens were used for validation. The limit of the nested real-time PCR detection was 500 copies/reaction and there was no cross-reaction with Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Human papillomavirus, Herpes simplex virus, Candida albicans and Ureaplasma parvum, but the 23S rRNA assay cross-reacted with Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Compared with sequencing results, the sensitivity of 23S rRNA was 100% (95% CI; 93.3 -100), the specificity was 94.3% (95% CI; 79.4 - 99.0), the overall consistency was 98% (95% CI; 92.5 - 99.7) and kappa value was 0.96 (P < 0.001); the sensitivity of parC was 100% (95% CI; 93.4 - 100), the specificity was 89.7% (95% CI; 71.5 - 97.3) and the overall consistency was 96.9% (95% CI; 90.7 - 99.2) with a kappa value of 0.92 (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe results of this sensitive and rapid alternative for identifying resistant genotypes of Mycoplasma genitalium are intuitive and easy to interpret, especially for mixed MG populations. Although the relevant 23S rRNA primers need further adjustment, this reliable method would provide an effective diagnostic tool for the selection of antibiotics in clinical practice.
