STDThe Mycoplasma genitalium test uses PCR technology to detect Mycoplasma genitalium bacteria, an emerging sexually transmitted infection associated with urethritis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Increasing antibiotic resistance makes accurate diagnosis particularly important.
Mycoplasma genitalium is increasingly recognised as a significant sexually transmitted pathogen. When left untreated, it can cause persistent urethritis in men and cervicitis, endometritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease in women, potentially affecting fertility. The rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance in Mycoplasma genitalium makes proper diagnosis and guided treatment essential. Standard antibiotic regimens for other STIs may not be effective against resistant strains, highlighting the importance of specific testing.
