Evaluation of a real-time PCR assay for detection of Mycoplasma genitalium and macrolide resistance-mediating mutations from clinical specimens

Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is a sexually transmitted pathogen for which there is no FDA approved diagnostic test available in the U.S. A modified real-time PCR assay for detecting MG and simultaneously identifying macrolide resistance mutations from clinical specimens was evaluated and proved to be sensitive and accurate for diagnostic purposes.
