High Prevalence of Vaginal and Rectal Mycoplasma genitalium Macrolide Resistance Among Female Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic Patients in Seattle, Washington

This study highlights how the use of antimicrobials designed to treat an identified infection—in this case, CT—could influence treatment outcomes and antimicrobial susceptibility in other unidentified infections.
