Analysis of 97 M. genitalium-positive samples. Sequencing results for two samples were unavailable due to a failed sequencing run.
Mutations (n = 67) included A2058G (n = 23), A2058T (n = 4), and A2059G (n = 40).
Fewer than 10 genomes/5 μl of extract were detected in the samples when discrepant analysis was performed by repeating the in-house 16S qPCR.
