Tetracycline resistance mediated by tet(M) has variable integrative conjugative element composition in mycoplasma hominis isolated in the United Kingdom from 2005-2015
A minimal genome and absent bacterial cell wall renders Mycoplasma hominis inherently resistant to most antimicrobials except lincosamides, tetracyclines and fluoroquinionlones. Often dismissed as a commensal (except where linked to preterm birth), it causes septic arthritis in immunodeficient patie...
