A case of Mycoplasma genitalium possible resistance in a woman

Abstract

Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is an increasingly recognized sexually transmitted infection. In women, MG is particularly associated with endometritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, HIV, and long-term negative reproductive health and obstetric outcomes. In addition, MG has the potential to show resistance to antibiotics. We present here a case of possibly resistant MG in Lebanon, where MG prevalence and MG antibiotic resistance status are unknown.
