MYCOPLASMA IST3 Results and Antimicrobial Susceptibility in PCR-Positive Urine Samples for Ureaplasma spp.

In addition to intrinsic resistance, acquired antimicrobial resistance in <i>Ureaplasma</i> and <i>Mycoplasma</i> species appears to be increasing; therefore, treatment decisions should be guided by AST whenever feasible. Clinical laboratories should implement appropriate diagnostic methods for these organisms and perform susceptibility testing when indicated to support clinical decision making and optimize antimicrobial selection.
