Trends of Mycoplasma genitalium infections in Berlin, Germany, 2017–2023

The results of this study confirm a constantly high rate of macrolide-resistant M. genitalium strains and a trend of increased quinolone resistance among MSM in an urban environment. Despite lower rates, the percentage of resistant strains in heterosexual patients has also reached an alarming extent. The determination of MgpB strain types provides insights into the distribution of genotypes of an important agent of sexually transmitted infections in both population groups.
