Using systematic mutagenesis approach, researchers at The Institute for Genome Research (TIGR), Rockville, Maryland, identified 265–350 genes of urethritis causing Mycoplasma genitalium, essential for maintaining cell viability and supporting cell replication. It was the first attempt to construct a s...
(M. mycoides). Thehuman pathogensMycoplasma hominisandM. pneumoniaewere discovered in 1937 and 1944, respectively. Even now, new species are being identified: in 1981,M. genitaliumwas isolated from a patient suffering from nongonococcalurethritis, and more recently,Mycoplasma penetransandMycoplasma ...
genitalium infections Abstract The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major concern worldwide and already compromises treatment effectiveness and control of several bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium are evolving into so-called ...

Mycoplasma genitalium is an etiological agent of sexually transmitted infections, but due to its fastidious growth requirements, only a few M. genitalium strains are available for determination of the activity of currently used and new antimicrobial agen
