The researchers discovered that while endemic MG prevalence could go down from its current level of 9.1% to 6.4% if all men who have sex with men were offered screenings, it would lead to a high proportion of antibiotic-resistant MG. In a research paper, published in March in journal EClinical Medicine, researchers built a mathematical model of MG transmission based on screening strategies and the prevalences of MG among men who have sex with men attending the Melbourne Sexual Health Clinic.
