&lt;p data-start=&quot;674&quot; data-end=&quot;1207&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Mycoplasma genitalium (Mgen) is an increasingly recognised sexually transmitted infection (STI) in Singapore, often overlooked due to its subtle or absent symptoms. Mgen is considered one of the most common causes of non-gonococcal urethritis, second only to chlamydia, and is particularly challenging due to its antibiotic resistance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;674&quot; data-end=&quot;1207&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1214&quot; data-end=&quot;1254&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;What Is Mycoplasma Genitalium (Mgen)?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1256&quot; data-end=&quot;1671&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Mycoplasma genitalium is a small, slow-growing bacterium that infects the mucous membranes of the urinary and reproductive tracts. Unlike many bacteria, Mgen lacks a cell wall, making it inherently resistant to antibiotics such as penicillin and other beta-lactams. This characteristic contributes to diagnostic and treatment difficulties, especially when patients present with non-specific symptoms or none at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1673&quot; data-end=&quot;1860&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;It is important to distinguish Mycoplasma genitalium from other members of the Mycoplasma family, such as &lt;em data-start=&quot;1779&quot; data-end=&quot;1802&quot;&gt;Mycoplasma pneumoniae&lt;/em&gt;, which affects the lungs and is not sexually transmitted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1867&quot; data-end=&quot;1911&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1867&quot; data-end=&quot;1911&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Is Mycoplasma Genitalium Transmitted?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1913&quot; data-end=&quot;1991&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mycoplasma genitalium is spread through unprotected sexual contact, including:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Vaginal intercourse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Anal sex&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Oral-genital contact (less commonly)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2071&quot; data-end=&quot;2288&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Even in the absence of symptoms, individuals can carry and transmit the bacteria. This asymptomatic transmission makes Mgen a silent but significant contributor to STI spread in Singapore&amp;rsquo;s sexually active population.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2290&quot; data-end=&quot;2443&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;The infection can affect the urethra, cervix, rectum, and occasionally the throat. Condom use and regular screening are vital to preventing transmission.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
