Spread of Dual-Resistant <i>Mycoplasma genitalium</i> Clone among Men, France, 2021–2022
The 2058T macrolide resistance-associated mutation in 23S rRNA has emerged in Mycoplasma genitalium in France. Using mgpB typing, we documented the spread of a macrolide- and moxifloxacin-resistant ST159 clone, harboring the A2058T and ParC Ser83Ile mutations. In France, that clone is likely circulating among men who have sex with men.
