UCD NVRL will be introducing an assay for Mycoplasma genitalium macrolide drug resistance.
The new test code is provided above. This will be performed automatically on all M. gen positive specimens, and should not require users to request additional testing.
Fluoroquinolone drug resistance testing will be introduced shortly, but in the meantime, samples showing evidence of macrolide resistance will be referred to the laboratory in PHA Colindale.
