Summary
The purpose of this on-going study is to study the number of days after antibiotic treatment
has commenced (due to infection caused by the sexually transmitted bacteria Chlamydia
trachomatis (CT) and Mycoplasma genitalium(Mg)) it takes to be cured i.e to get a negative
test result. The specimens are analyzed on first-catch-urine (men) or patient's self-obtained
vaginal sample with quantitive nucleic acid amplification test(NAAT). A secondary aim is to
detect macrolide resistant Mg-strains and study whether there are any emerging macrolide
resistant Mg-strains after treatment with azithromycin. A third aim is to study whether the
participating subjects are adherent to the study protocol meaning 12 samples taken during a
period of four weeks.
