We report here <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic> prevalence among the specimens received for <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">STI<\/jats:styled-content> diagnosis in our routine microbiological laboratory in the university hospital in Marseille, France. We tested 4 624 samples from 3 793 patients using <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">qPCR<\/jats:styled-content> for <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic>, C<jats:italic>. trachomatis, N. gonorrheae, T. pallidum<\/jats:italic>. Of these samples, 528 (13.6%) patients were tested positive for at least one pathogen and 126 (3.3%) were positive for <jats:italic>M. genitalium. M. genitalium<\/jats:italic> is the second most prevalent micro\u2010organism detected in women after <jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic> (10.4%) and the third most prevalent in men after <jats:italic>C. trachomatis<\/jats:italic> (5.1%) and <jats:italic>N. gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic> (4.4%). We observed no significant differences between the prevalence of <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic> in vaginal, urethral and urine specimens (p = 0.9). Prevalence of <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic> is significantly higher in patients aged between 10\u201330 years (4.1%) compared to those aged between 30 and 50 years (2.7%) (p = 0.02, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RR<\/jats:styled-content> = 1.54 [1.06\u20132.24]) and patients over 50 years of age (1.1%) (p = 0.003, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">RR<\/jats:styled-content>= 3.98 [1.47\u201310.8]). <jats:italic>M. genitalium<\/jats:italic> is a common agent of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">STI<\/jats:styled-content>, therefore we suggest that this micro\u2010organism should be systematically tested during chronic, recurrent, or antibiotic resistant genital
