1 Mycoplasma genitalium: What is it and why should we care? Lisa E. Manhart, PhD, MPH rwpoll.com uwecho Last Updated: uwptc.org

2 Disclosures Service on a scientific advisory board and receipt of speaker fees and donations of equipment, test kits, and reagents from Hologic, Inc.

3 What is Mycoplasma genitalium? Mollicute - Lacks a cell wall Smallest known genome 1,2-580 kb translating to <500 genes First identified in 1981 from 2 of 13 men with NGU 3 Scanning electron micrograph Extremely fastidious - Culture only achieved by ~3-4 laboratories worldwide - Takes ~6 months 4 Computer assembled & generated 3D model 1 Glass et al, PNAS 2006; 2 Gibson et al, Science 2008; 3 Tully et al, Lancet 1981, 4 Jensen et al, J Clin Micro 1996

4 Today and Mycoplasma genitalium How common is it? Who is at increased risk for infection? What clinical syndromes occur? What should you use to treat?

19 CDC 2015 STD Treatment Guidelines The 1-g single dose of azithromycin was significantly more effective against M. genitalium than doxycycline in two randomized urethritis treatment trials and is preferred over doxycycline. However, resistance to azithromycin appears to be rapidly emerging. Moxifloxacin (400mg daily x 7, 10, or 14 days) has been successfully used to treat M. genitalium in men and women with previous treatment failures. Although generally considered effective, studies in Japan, Australia, and the United States have reported moxifloxacin treatment failures after the 7 day regimen. CDC 2015 STD Treatment Guidelines
