Mycoplasma genitalium is a newly discovered sexually transmitted bacterium that has been linked to urethritis in males and a variety of inflammatory reproductive tract syndromes in women, including cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and infertility.
Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that shares many of the same characteristics as chlamydia.
Mycoplasma is spread through contact with droplets from infected people's noses and throats, particularly when they cough or sneeze.
Long-term close contact with an infected person is thought to be necessary for transmission.
