New study out today looking at 856 #Welsh sexual health patients in @CwmTafMorgannwg. Key findings: low tetracycline and fluoroquinolone resistance for #Ureaplasma and #Mycoplasma, and urine samples have much lower bacterial load than swabs for these. Link https://t.co/ofnBJ0mXPw

And if you didn’t manage to make that deadline, @2020Iom have extended the deadline until March 20th. So no excuses not to get those #Mycoplasma and #Ureaplasma abstracts in! Thanks for all your advertising and raising of awareness @ScienceNerdEmma ! Keep up the good work!
Don't forget that abstract submissions for @2020Iom close on March 6th! If you haven't submitted your abstract yet, DO IT! #IOM2020
