Introduction. Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted bacterium associated with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) in men. The rising macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance M. has become public health concern, requiring close surveillance. Gap statement. MgpB/MG309 typing commonly used to study genotype distribution patterns of men who have sex (MSM); however, data for women (MSW) are limited. Aim. aim this was explore the epidemiology based on mgpB / MG309 molecular isolates from...
Mycoplasma genitalium, a sexually transmitted bacterium, faces increasing antibiotic resistance, particularly to azithromycin. However, presence of macrolide resistance-associated mutations (MRAMs) does not evidently implicate azithromycin treatment failure. This study aimed establish an in vitro co-culture system M. genitalium isolates and perform phenotypic susceptibility testing for different antibiotics, focusing on evaluate genotypic resistance across MRAMs. Urine specimens positive via...
Abstract Mosquito saliva was shown to play a key role in arbovirus transmission and pathogenesis. In this study, we explored the presence of microbiota mosquito their effect on mosquito-borne virus infection vitro . Culturable fungal bacterial colonies were isolated identified from harvested Aedes aegypti (lab strain) Culex pipiens (field-collected mosquitoes). For first time, species Penicillium crustosum mosquitoes. bacteria detected included Serratia marcescens, nematodiphila ,...
Diagnosis of infected individuals with Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is often performed by real-time PCR or transcription-mediated amplification (TMA). A limitation the MG-TMA assay relatively short time span 24 h in which collected urine required to be transferred into a Urine Specimen Transport Tube, according manufacturer's guidelines. If not within h, claimed sensitivity cannot guaranteed anymore, and samples may instead tested an in-house validated PCR, despite its recognized lower...
