| validation of a novel mho microarray for a comprehensive characterisation of the mycoplasma hominis action in hela cell infection. | mycoplasma hominis is the second smallest facultative pathogen of the human urogenital tract. with less than 600 protein-encoding genes, it represents an ideal model organism for the study of host-pathogen interactions. for a comprehensive characterisation of the m. hominis action in infection a customized mho microarray, which was based on two genome sequences (pg21 and lbd-4), was designed to analyze the dynamics of the mycoplasma transcriptome during infection and validated for m. hominis str ... | 2017 | 28753664 |
| assessing the need for routine screening for mycoplasma genitalium in the low-risk female population: a prevalence and co-infection study on women from croatia. | there is an ongoing debate regarding possible cost and benefits, but also harm of universal screening for the emerging sexually transmitted pathogen mycoplasma genitalium. | 2017 | 28757928 |
| in vitro activities of gepotidacin (gsk2140944) and other antimicrobial agents against human mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas. | gepotidacin, a novel, first in class, triazaacenaphthylene topoisomerase ii inhibitor, was tested against 85 type strains and clinical isolates of mycoplasma pneumoniae, mycoplasma hominis, mycoplasma genitalium, ureaplasma parvum, and ureaplasma urealyticum in comparison to levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, azithromycin or clindamycin, and tetracycline. gepotidacin mic90s (μg/ml) were: m. pneumoniae (0.125), m. genitalium (0.032), m. hominis (2), and ureaplasma species (8). gepotidacin activity was n ... | 2017 | 28784668 |
| the detection of microorganisms related to urethritis from the oral cavity of male patients with urethritis. | to investigate the presence of microorganisms related to urethritis in the oral cavity of male patients with urethritis and the efficacies of antimicrobials for urethritis on microorganisms in the oral cavity. | 2017 | 28803864 |
| first report of sneathia sanguinegens together with mycoplasma hominis in postpartum prosthetic valve infective endocarditis: a case report. | the presence of more than one bacterial agent is relatively rare in infective endocarditis, although more common in prosthetic cases. molecular diagnosis from a removed heart tissue is considered a quick and effective way to diagnose fastidious or intracellular agents. | 2017 | 28806998 |
| maternal serum c-reactive protein concentration and intra-amniotic inflammation in women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes. | to evaluate maternal serum c-reactive protein (crp) concentrations in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (pprom) in relation to the presence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (miac) and/or intra-amniotic inflammation (iai). | 2017 | 28813455 |
| antibacterial resistance in ureaplasma species and mycoplasma hominis isolates from urine cultures in college-aged females. | urinary tract infections (utis) affect nearly 20% of women aged 15-29 and account for an estimated $3.5 billion in us costs. antibiotic resistance prolongs uti treatment and resistance profiles vary regionally. this regional variation is an important consideration in guiding empirical treatment selection. regional studies in the us have identified tetracycline resistance in over a third of ureaplasma spp. isolates, but no studies have evaluated antibiotic resistance levels in college-aged women ... | 2017 | 28827422 |
| pelvic abscess secondary to mycoplasma hominis following vaginal laceration. | mycoplasma hominis frequently colonizes the urogenital and respiratory tracts of healthy individuals. it has also been associated with genitourinary tract and extra-genital syndromes. | 2017 | 28838864 |
