Objective. To study epidemiology of resistance to macrolides and fluoroquinolones in Mycoplasmagenitalium isolated from pregnant women in Russia and Belarus. Materials and Methods. A total of 107 M. genitalium DNA samples isolated from pregnant women in Russia (n = 58) and Belarus (n = 49) was included in the study. In order to detect markers of macrolide or fluoroquinolone resistance, polymerase chain reaction in real time with the effect of quenching fluorescence of the probe by a primer was used.
