Additionally, we describe the prevalence of <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic> resistance to azithromycin and moxifloxacin. We used data from 7,411 consecutive female patients who were screened for <jats:italic>Chlamydia trachomatis<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>T. vaginalis<\/jats:italic> and data from 5,732 consecutive male patients screened for <jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>N. gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic>. The prevalence of <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>T. vaginalis<\/jats:italic> in female patients was 6.7% (95% CI: 6.2 to 7.4) and 1.9% (95%CI: 1.6 to 2.2%), respectively. <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic> prevalence in male patients was 3.7% (3.3 to 4.3). <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic> co-occurred with <jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic> in 1.4% (0.3 to 0.6%) of female and in 0.7% (0.5 to 0.9) of male patients. Macrolide resistance gene mutations and fluoroquinolone resistance gene mutations were detected in 73.8% and 9.9%, respectively. We concluded that <jats:italic>M.genitalium<\/jats:italic> is relatively infrequently found in a large general practitioner population in the Netherlands. It can co-occur with <jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic>, and is often resistant to azithromycin. Therefore, when treating sexually transmitted infections, these prevalence and resistance data should be taken into account.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s095026882300064x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,5]],"date-time":"2023-05-05T08:09:27Z","timestamp":1683274167000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Epidemiology of <i>Mycoplasma genitalium<\/i> and <i>Trichomonas vaginalis<\/i> in the primary health care setting in the Netherlands"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"151","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4779-2191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erlangga","family":"Yusuf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelly","family":"Mertens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nico","family":"van Lisdonk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cindy","family":"Houwen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4872-9960","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khoa T.
