Sumario:Currently, infections caused by Mycoplasma genitalium are ones the most common sexually transmitted infections. Their prevalence is varied from 1.3% to 15.9%. Infections caused by M.genitalium may lead to urethritis in men and a wide spectrum of diseases in women. Antibiotic resistance now is one of the most emerging problems both in the scientific and in the healthcare fields. The usage of antimicrobials inhibiting cell wall synthesis for the treatment of M.genitalium is ineffective, and resistance to macrolides and fluoroquinolones is increasing rapidly. M.genitalium infections diagnostics is complicated due to specific conditions and duration of culture methods. The usage of nucleic acid amplification techniques is the most relevant for laboratory diagnostics, and is used in existing assays. This review compiles current data on the prevalence, molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance, as well as diagnostics methods of M.genitalium.
