Mycoplasma penetrans has gained increased attention in relation to sexually transmitted
infections, however, its pathogenic potential and prevalence in different populations
remains to be elucidated. Among 293 Chlamydia trachomatis positive rectal samples
submitted for lymphogranuloma venereum typing, M. penetrans was detected by PCR
in 13.4% of 231 male samples.
