Correlatie tussen verschillende fenotypische methodes voor het bepalen van resistentie aan fluroquinolones bij Mycobacterium tuberculosis Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen
BACKGROUND: Molecular resistance testing fails to explain all fluoroquinolone resistance, with a continued need for a suitable rapid phenotypic drug susceptibility testing method.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the optimal method for phenotypic fluoroquinolone susceptibility testing.
METHODS: Using Löwenstein-Jensen medium, Middlebrook 7H11 agar, BACTEC-MGIT 960 and the resazurin microtitre plate assay, we determined susceptibility to ...

An alarming high prevalence of resistance-associated mutations to macrolides and fluoroquinolones in Mycoplasma genitalium in Belgium: results from samples collected between 2015 and 2018 Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
OBJECTIVES: The number of reported cases of multiresistant Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is increasing globally. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of macrolide and possible fluoroquinolone resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) of MG in Belgium.
METHODS: The study was performed retrospectively on two sets of MG-positive samples collected in Belgium between 2015 and 2018. The first set of samples originated from routine ...
Worryingly high prevalence of resistance-associated mutations to macrolides and fluoroquinolones in Mycoplasma genitalium among men who have sex with men with recurrent sexually transmitted infections Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: Men who have sex with men (MSM) using pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) recurrently infected with STIs are playing a pivotal role in contemporary Sexually transmitted infections (STI) epidemics. Our aim was to assess whether these individuals had more Mycoplasma genitalium (M. genitalium) infections and more resistance to macrolides and fluoroquinolones of M. genitalium compared to those who were not recurrently infected with ...
