A significant proportion of participants in our study of symptomatic patients and STI contacts were infected with macrolide-resistant MG, suggesting that testing for MG and MRAM, for MG positives, might be clinically useful. The findings also suggest services explore potential benefits of testing CT positive samples for MG in these patient groups. Where MG testing is not available, potential high rates of MG coinfection should be borne in mind when considering azithromycin in the treatment of CT among STI contacts and symptomatic patients.
