RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Mycoplasma genitalium as a sexually transmitted infection: implications for screening, testing, and treatment JF Sexually Transmitted Infections JO Sex Transm Infect FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP 269 OP 271 DO 10.1136/sti.2005.017368 VO 82 IS 4 A1 J D C Ross A1 J S Jensen YR 2006 UL http://sti.bmj.com/content/82/4/269.abstract AB The evidence that Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted pathogen is virtually incontrovertible based on both the concordance rates among partners and on DNA typing showing the same sequence type among partners in contrast to unrelated M genitalium positive patients.
