Molecular detection of Mycoplasma genitalium in endocervical swabs and associated rates of macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance in Hong Kong.

CONCLUSION: In Hong Kong, MG was detected in endocervical swabs from 7.4% of patients in sexual health clinics, with high rates of macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance. These findings warrant careful review of testing, clinical correlation, and treatment strategies for MG in the context of increasing antibiotic resistance.
