| isolation of mycoplasma membranes by digitonin. | the cell membrane of mycoplasma hominis was isolated by lysing the cells with digitonin. electron microscopy and chemical, density gradient, and electrophoretic analyses of the membrane proteins showed the membranes so obtained, like those isolated by osmotic lysis, to be relatively free of cytoplasmic contaminants. sensitivity to digitonin lysis depended on temperature but was not affected by mg(2+) ions and was only slightly affected by the age of the culture. accordingly, it seems that digito ... | 1972 | 4112256 |
| ureaplasma urealyticum causing persistent urethritis in a patient with hypogammaglobulinaemia. | ureaplasma urealyticum organisms (ureaplasmas) were isolated in large numbers (up to 10(8) colour changing units (ccu)/ml) over a period of four years from the urethra of a man with hypogammaglobulinaemia and non-gonococcal urethritis. elimination of mycoplasma hominis by antibiotic treatment early in the course of the urethritis did not diminish the severity of his condition, which indicated that this mycoplasma was not a cause. courses of treatment with tetracyclines, spectinomycin, erythromyc ... | 1985 | 4086030 |
| the photosensitizing activity of haematoporphyrin on mollicutes. | the photosensitizing activity of haematoporphyrin (hp) on mycoplasma hominis and acholeplasma laidlawii was studied as a function of the phase of growth and the amount of sterols in the cell membrane. less hp was bound to cells when the membrane had a high sterol content. both strains in the exponential but not in the stationary phase of growth were sensitive to hp treatment (above 1 microgram ml-1) in the dark. visible light irradiation of hp-loaded cells caused in all cases a decrease of cell ... | 1985 | 4067577 |

| concrement formation in the urinary bladder in rats inoculated with ureaplasma urealyticum. | to study the concrement-forming ability of ureaplasma urealyticum in the urinary tract, viable and heat-killed ureaplasmas as well as urease and non-urease-producing bacteria were inoculated into the bladder in rats. viable ureaplasmas, in contrast to heat-killed, caused the formation of bladder stones with a frequency corresponding to urease-producing bacteria (proteus mirabilis). it was not possible to reculture the inoculated ureaplasmas from the urinary tract. non-urease producing microorgan ... | 1985 | 4049607 |
| microbiological and serological study of non-gonococcal urethritis with special reference to mycoplasma genitalium. | twenty-two men with non-gonococcal urethritis (ngu), 19 with gonorrhoea, and 22 without urethritis were examined for various micro-organisms. chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from the urethra of 45% of men with ngu, 21% of those with gonorrhoea, but from none without urethritis. ureaplasma urealyticum but not mycoplasma hominis was recovered from a larger proportion of men with ngu than from those in the other groups. m genitalium was isolated presumptively from 32% of men with ngu, 12% of tho ... | 1985 | 4043971 |
| prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis and genital mycoplasmas in asymptomatic women. | to establish the prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum in women attending a family planning and a prenatal clinic in halifax, cervical swabs were obtained at the time of the first visit from 491 women who had no symptoms of genital infection. among the women attending the family planning clinic m. hominis occurred in combination with c. trachomatis more frequently than expected (p less than 0.05). it occurred in the absence of u. urealyticum in only a ... | 1985 | 4039970 |
| urethral isolation of the genital mycoplasmas and chlamydia trachomatis in women with chronic urologic complaints. | eighty-six abacteriuric women with chronic urologic complaints were studied to determine the relationship of chlamydia trachomatis, mycoplasma hominis, and ureaplasma urealyticum to their symptoms or diagnoses. all patients had urethral scrape specimens for isolation of the three organisms as well as a detailed urologic history and urodynamic evaluation. thirty-three of 86 patients (38%) had positive urethral ureaplasma cultures; seven had concurrent m. hominis isolation. no patient had m. homin ... | 1985 | 4039533 |

| nucleic acid relationships among the anaerobic mycoplasmas. | the genetic relatedness between twelve selected strains among four distinct serovars of anaerobic mycoplasmas was studied using [3h]dna-dna hybridization, and the results were compared with data obtained from biochemical and serological tests. radiolabelled dna probes were prepared from five strains representing four serovars. based on the homology results, the anaerobic mycoplasmas can be divided into five distinct groups representing five distinct species and two distinct genera. there are two ... | 1985 | 4020344 |
| neonatal mycoplasmaemia: mycoplasma hominis as a significant cause of disease? | a full-term baby boy had respiratory distress, fever and pneumonia within 20 h of birth. isolation of mycoplasma hominis from blood taken after 20 h and 11 days was accompanied by an antibody response. although chlamydial igm antibody was detected, chlamydial infection probably did not cause the pneumonia. penicillin was ineffective but treatment with gentamicin, and particularly tetracycline, was associated with slow improvement. mycoplasma hominis should be considered as a cause of respiratory ... | 1985 | 4008964 |
| importance of mycoplasma hominis in acute salpingitis assessed by culture and serological tests. | in 95 women with a provisional diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease, a final diagnosis of acute salpingitis was confirmed by laparoscopy in 46 and 10 had strong clinical evidence of acute salpingitis. the findings in the remaining 39 patients without signs of acute salpingitis by laparoscopy were used as a standard of reference. criteria for the diagnosis of possible mycoplasmal salpingitis were tentatively defined as the isolation of mycoplasma hominis from the cervix together with positive ... | 1985 | 4007861 |

| effects of mycoplasma hominis on in-vitro studies of neisseria gonorrhoeae. | this study examined the effects mycoplasma hominis might have on neisseria gonorrhoeae. two auxotype standard strains of n. gonorrhoeae were found by culture and by light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy to be contaminated with m. hominis. in the presence of m. hominis, these strains of n. gonorrhoeae were typed as prototrophic. removal of the mycoplasmas by passage of the n. gonorrhoeae on serum-free medium resulted in a second change in growth requirements rather than a reversion to the ... | 1985 | 3929403 |
| prevalence of antibodies to chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, and mycoplasma hominis in infertile women. | a total of 57 infertile women, who had been referred for in vitro fertilisation or for diagnostic laparoscopy, were tested for the presence of antibodies to chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, and mycoplasma hominis. four were excluded from the study. of the remaining 53, 33 had laparoscopically obvious tubal disorders, such as adhesions, distal occlusions and strictures, and 20 did not. antibodies to c trachomatis were found in 7/33 (21.2%) v 0/20, antibodies to n gonorrhoeae in 20/38 ... | 1985 | 3924815 |
| prevalence and manifestations of endometritis among women with cervicitis. | thirty-five women referred from a clinic treating sexually transmitted diseases, because of suspected cervicitis, were studied for the presence of endometritis by transcervical endometrial biopsies and cervical and endometrial cultures. fourteen (40%) of the patients had histologic evidence of endometritis. findings that significantly correlated with endometritis included a history of intermenstrual vaginal bleeding, the presence of chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, or streptococcus ... | 1985 | 3923837 |
| pelvic inflammatory disease, intrauterine contraception, and the conduct of epidemiologic studies. | pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) has been described in the medical literature for more than a century as a specific entity. neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, and mycoplasma hominis, along with bacteroides fragilis and other anaerobic bacteria, have been most frequently associated with pid. factors affecting the occurrence of pid have been extensively studied during the past two decades and include number of sexual partners, age, race, socioeconomic status, education, and contracepti ... | 1985 | 3916040 |
| antibodies to microbial, leukocyte and organ antigens. | hemagglutinating antibodies to mycoplasma hominis were present in 30 of 83 infertile, 15 of 40 pregnant and 5 of 20 post-partum females and 20 of 82 infertile males in contrast to only 2 of 21 fertile females and 5 of 25 fertile males. their presence correlated with sperm antibody detection by tat in lab. 4, the immunobead-binding assay of lab. 1 and the sit of lab. 11, but not with other sperm antibody assays. immunofluorescent antibodies to chlamydia trachomatis, on the other hand, did not cor ... | 1985 | 3914551 |
| the relation between vaginal ph and the microbiological status in vaginitis. | the vaginal ph, microbial flora and presence of clue cells were investigated in 89 women who were seen at a sexually transmitted diseases clinic with a vaginal discharge or because they were contacts of men with gonococcal or non-gonococcal urethritis or because they were seeking a routine examination. none of the women had received antibiotics for at least 4 weeks before examination. a clinically normal vaginal secretion was found in 21 (55%) of 38 women who had a vaginal ph of 5.0-5.5, while s ... | 1985 | 3910080 |
| [genital mycoplasma infections]. | clinical and experimental investigations on the significance of mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum have revealed different and contradictory results. both germs are frequently discovered in young, sexually active persons. ureaplasma urealyticum might be the cause of some cases of non-gonococcal urethritis. m. hominis seems to be one causative agent of endometritis, salpingitis, parametritis and septicaemia after birth; we do not know yet, however, how often this may be the case. m. ho ... | 1985 | 3904251 |
| [antibiotic sensitivity of mycoplasma pathogenic for man]. | human pathogen mycoplasmas (mycoplasma pneumoniae, mycoplasma hominis, ureaplasma urealyticum) are intrinsically resistant to antibiotics which inhibit the cell wall biosynthesis (beta-lactams, vancomycin, bacitracin), to polymyxins, rifamycins, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, 5-nitroimidazoles, nitrofurans and to presently available quinolones. these three species are moderately susceptible to aminoglycosides, susceptible to chloramphenicol and highly susceptible to tetracyclines. m. pneumoniae is ... | 1985 | 3892448 |
| prophylaxis with lymecycline in induced first-trimester abortion: a clinical, controlled trial assessing the role of chlamydia trachomatis and mycoplasma hominis. | a clinical, controlled trial was performed to study the effect of prophylaxis with lymecycline and the role of chlamydia trachomatis and mycoplasma hominis in postabortal genital infection. of 532 women who were to undergo first-trimester abortion, 269 were randomized to treatment with oral lymecycline (300 mg bid) starting 2 days before the abortion and continuing for a total of 7 days, and 263 were randomized to placebo treatment. the rate of postabortal infection was 9.3% in the antibiotic gr ... | 1985 | 3890229 |
| women at risk for gonorrhea: comparison of rosaramicin and ampicillin plus probenecid in the eradication of neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis and genital mycoplasmas. | rosaramicin is a macrolide antibiotic with activity against neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, and the genital mycoplasmas ureaplasma urealyticum and mycoplasma hominis. its efficacy in the treatment of genital infections was evaluated and compared with that of single-dose ampicillin plus probenecid in women with known, or suspected, uncomplicated gonococcal infection. isolation rates for n. gonorrhoeae, c. trachomatis, u. urealyticum, and m. hominis were 72%, 44%, 95%, and 65%, respe ... | 1985 | 3890223 |
| invasiveness of salmonella typhimurium in hep-2 cell cultures pre-infected with mycoplasma hominis and mycoplasma orale. | the influence of mycoplasma infection on the in vitro invasiveness of s. typhimurium in hep-2 cell cultures has been tested. two strains of arginine-utilizing mycoplasma species mycoplasma hominis and m. orale both seemed to inhibit the bacterial in vitro invasiveness. both the ratio of infected cells and the number of intracellular bacteria per cell were reduced in the mycoplasma-infected cultures. | 1985 | 3885679 |

| a retrospective study of doxycycline in the treatment of genitourinary infections. | a retrospective study was conducted to assess the prevalence of chlamydia trachomatis, ureaplasma ureolyticum, and mycoplasma sp in patients with suspected genital infection, and to assess the efficacy of doxycycline and other current antibiotic therapies. over a three-year period, 1,048 records of patients (64% female; 36% male) were reviewed. c trachomatis, u ureolyticum, or mycoplasma hominis was found in 39% of the men and 49% of the women. other pathogens included gardnerella vaginalis (in ... | 1986 | 3829089 |
| measurement of antibody to mycoplasma hominis by an enzyme-linked immunoassay and detection of class-specific antibody responses in women with postpartum fever. | the standard conditions for detection of human igg, igm, and iga antibodies to mycoplasma hominis by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) were established with the use of a cell lysate antigen and alkaline phosphatase conjugates. antigen was used at a concentration of 10 micrograms of protein per milliliter, sera were diluted 1:200, and conjugates were diluted 1:500. agreement between cultured isolation of m. hominis from the lower genital tract and presence of antibody in 207 women was ... | 1987 | 3826222 |
| chorioamnionitis: its association with pregnancy outcome and microbial infection. | in a study of 33 cases of perinatal death, chorioamnionitis was observed in 57.6% compared with 5% of 20 control cases (p less than 0.001) and in 70.8% of cases with no morphologic cause compared with 22.2% of cases with a defined cause of death (p less than 0.01). chorioamnionitis was significantly associated with previous gestations (p less than 0.01), prolonged rupture of the membranes (p less than 0.001), prematurity (20 to 27 weeks' gestation) (p less than 0.001), and low birth weight (less ... | 1987 | 3826174 |
| low birth weight, prematurity, and postpartum endometritis. association with prenatal cervical mycoplasma hominis and chlamydia trachomatis infections. | we studied associations of mycoplasma hominis, ureaplasma urealyticum, and chlamydia trachomatis genital infections with pregnancy outcomes, controlling by logistic and multiple linear regression for known risk factors and for the presence of the other two infections. a sample of 1204 navajo women enrolling for prenatal care had endocervical c trachomatis, m hominis, and u urealyticum cultures and serum samples taken at enrollment and when possible after 30 weeks. low birth weight (less than 250 ... | 1987 | 3806917 |
| arginine deiminase of mycoplasma hominis: cytoplasmic and membrane-associated forms. | membrane and cytoplasmic fractions of mycoplasma hominis inhibited the multiplication of this mycoplasma. arginine deiminase (ec 3.5.3.6), isolated from both fractions, reproduced the inhibition. the purified cytoplasmic deiminase had a subunit mr of 49,000, a specific activity of 53 units (mg protein)-1 and an a280/a260 ratio of 1.76. the membrane-associated enzyme had an identical mr but lower values for specific activity [39 units (mg protein)-1] and the a280/a260 ratio (1.46). in experiments ... | 1986 | 3806049 |
| a survey of mycoplasma detection in veterinary vaccines. | nine live virus veterinary vaccines from six sources were found to be contaminated with mycoplasma. the vaccines were for use in canine, feline and avian species, and 53 batches of the products were at fault. the isolates were identified as mycoplasma hominis, m. arginini, m. orale, m. hyorhinis and m. gallinarum. investigation of the contamination rate of other batches or other products from the same source in some cases helped to determine the source of infection. mycoplasma contaminants can b ... | 1986 | 3799018 |
| ureaplasma urealyticum in the immunocompromised host. | the lack of antibody in hypogammaglobulinemic patients probably results in failure of mycoplasmas to be "neutralized" and accounts for the diminished ability of the patients to cope with these organisms escaping hematogenously from the respiratory and urogenital tracts. furthermore ureaplasma urealyticum and other mycoplasmas are ingested by neutrophils in the absence of opsonins, indicated by the fact that they are able to trigger the release of chemiluminescence from these cells; ureaplasmas a ... | 1986 | 3797323 |
