Drug Resistance–Associated Mutations inMycoplasma genitaliumin Female Sex Workers, Japan

Abstract: Mycoplasma genitalium was detected in 21 (14.1%) of 149 vaginal swab samples and in 1 (0.7%) of 149 throat washing samples from female sex workers during 2013–2014 in Japan. Prevalences of M. genitalium with macrolide resistance–associated 23S rRNA mutations and fluoroquinolone resistance–associated parC alterations were 47.1% and 36.8%, respectively.

“…The presence of macrolide resistance‐associated mutations in M. genitalium has increased substantially during the last 10 years in Sweden, and this trend has also been described in many other countries . Hopefully, the increase in macrolide resistance can be mitigated by decreasing the selection pressure of azithromycin through decreased consumption of azithromycin in general, use of doxycycline instead of azithromycin for empirical first‐line therapy of NGU and C. trachomatis , and routine macrolide resistance testing of all M. genitalium ‐positive samples .…”

“…In this present study, five (0.7%) samples were multidrug resistant, that is, they contained both macrolide and possible fluoroquinolone resistance‐associated mutations. Multidrug resistance in M. genitalium , in prevalences of up to 25%, has recently been reported in studies from Australia and Japan . This is a major concern because there is only one recommended third‐line treatment of M. genitalium infections, that is, pristinamycin (1 g four times daily for 10 days) , which has been reported to be only about 75% effective .…”

“…Studies in Japan reported prevalence ranging from 3.6% (n = 28) to 29.4% (n = 51) and 36.8% (n = 19) ( 7 , 8 , 11 ), although 1 study involved a cohort at higher risk (female sex workers). A low prevalence of S83 mutation has been observed in Europe (1.5% in France, 5% in England and Germany) ( 12 14 ).…”

“…До 50% изолятов M. genitalium невосприим-чивы к тетрациклину [10], устойчивы к мак-ролидам -17,2-43,4% [18,46,76], а около 15% -к фторхинолонам [14]. Доля устойчивых к макролидам штаммов M. pneumoniae может достигать 80% [37,85].…”
