Abstract:Introduction:
Mycoplasma genitalium (Mg) is a sexually transmitted pathogen associated with non-gonococcal urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. Since Mg is very difficult to culture from clinical samples, typing strains relies on the variability of a 281pb fragment of the mgpB gene, encoding the adhesin MgPa. Here we present the analysis of the sequences of 14 Mg strains detected from clinical samples between 2013 and 2016.MethodsThis was a retrospective study in which we analys… Show more
