Abstract
We report a case of Mycoplasma genitalium-positive non-gonococcal urethritis who failed to respond to multiple different courses of antibiotics including azithromycin, minocycline, moxifloxacin and spectinomycin. Extracted M. genitalium DNA from urethral swabs obtained from the patient harbored mutations of 23S rRNA, parC and gyrA. Microbiological cure was eventually achieved by a 14-day course of doxycycline.
Keywords: Asia; Mycoplasma genitalium; Non-gonococcal urethritis; antibiotic.
