Azithromycin3
  • M genitalium-positive patients were clinically and microbiologically tested after treatment with either doxycycline or azithromycin. (nih.gov)
  • For Mycoplasma genitalium infections, azithromycin regimens have been considered first-line treatments, and fluoroquinolone regimens, including those of moxifloxacin and sitafloxacin, have been effective second-line treatments ( 1 ). (cdc.gov)

Organisms1
  • Since these organisms require highly specialized conditions for culture in vitro and because molecular-based detection is not widely available (except for M genitalium), clinicians must be aware of the clinical syndromes with which these organisms have been associated and have a high level of suspicion prompting them to order the appropriate diagnostic tests from reference laboratories. (medscape.com)
Macrolide3
