The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant urogenital mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas has been gradually increasing over the years, leading to greater concern for accurate diagnosis and treatment. In this study, the antimicrobial resistance trends in Greece were analyzed using 2992 Ureaplasma spp. and 371 M. hominis isolates collected between 2014 and 2022. Antibiotic sensitivity was determined using eight different antimicrobial agents (josamycin, pristinamycin, clindamycin, ofloxacin, azithromycin, tetracycline, erythromycin, and doxycycline), with the data analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Resistance rates to clindamycin and erythromycin increased for both M. hominis and Ureaplasma spp., while remaining relatively low for Tetracycline, Doxycycline, and Ofloxacin. For Ureaplasma spp., high susceptibility was observed to pristinamycin, tetracycline, doxycycline, azithromycin, and josamycin, and intermediate susceptibility to erythromycin. However, the resistance rate for clindamycin dramatically increased from 60% in 2014 to a peak of 98.46% in 2021, and the erythromycin resistance rate increased from 9.54% in 2018 to 22.13% in 2021. M. hominis exhibited consistently high resistance rates to Erythromycin, while Azithromycin resistance significantly increased over time, from 52.78% in 2017 to 97.22% in 2022. The alarming escalation in antibiotic-resistant urogenital mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas in the Greek population is a significant concern. Antibiotic overconsumption may have played a crucial role in increasing resistance trends. The implementation of nationwide surveillance systems, proper antibiotic stewardship policies, and appropriate culture-based therapy policies are necessary to effectively control this emerging risk.
