Is there a such thing as antibiotic resistant mycoplasma genetalium?

[derrickjiang13]

I’ve been diagnosed w mycoplasma genetalium but I’ve been dealing w these symptoms of discharge, testicular pain, and burning sensation when peeing since March. I’ve taken zithro, doxy, Bactrim, over the summer. And lots of it. And recently I’ve taken cipro and a shot of rocephin. It was also recently that my test results from a swab culture came positive for mycoplasma when in the past urine tests always said i was negative for all STDs. When my test results kept coming back negative the doctor told me it was fine to have sex with my partner. My partner also tested negative for everything and so after i finished the antibiotic treatments i waited a week before having sex. When i had unprotected sex the symptoms persisted again even though the doctor told me i should’ve been fine. And then afterwards i only practiced protected penetrative sex and unprotected oral sex, and my symptoms came back when receiving oral. So I know there’s been reinfection. It’s been 9 months almost and it seems like no antibiotic treatment is fixing this problem. Am i doomed? Is there no cure for my mycoplasma genetalium because even the shot of rocephin in my buttock hasn’t helped me at all and neither has the cipro. What would be the next course of action to take if these medicines haven’t worked.

Derrickjiang13,

Hopefully you've gotten over this nasty infection. I had similar issues as you back in September. After countless amounts of antibiotics, 2 weeks of Moxifloxacin finally did the trick for me. Best of luck.

Hello, I’ve had similar symptoms and all my STD tests come back negative (including MG). Azithromycin has a high resistance,  I know Moxifloxacin is also getting high resistance. Have you tried any of these drugs?
