| 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 |
| detecting the diversity of mycoplasma and ureaplasma endosymbionts hosted by trichomonas vaginalis isolates. | objectives: the symbiosis of trichomonas vaginalis and mycoplasma hominis is the first described association between two obligate human parasites. trichomonas is the niche and the vector for the transmission of m. hominis infection. this clinically significant symbiosis may affect t. vaginalis virulence and susceptibility to treatment. the aims of this study were to investigate the intracellularly present mycoplasma and ureaplasma species in t. vaginalis strains isolated from the vaginal dischar ... | 2017 | 28702014 |
| association between genital mycoplasmas, acute chorioamnionitis and fetal pneumonia in spontaneous abortions. | ureaplasma parvum, ureaplasma urealyticum and mycoplasma hominis are also known as genital mycoplasmas. acute chorioamnionitis is an inflammation of the placenta associated with miscarriage. we retrospectively evaluated a possible association between genital mycoplasmas detection, acute chorioamnionitis and fetal pneumonia from second and third trimester spontaneous abortions. | 2017 | 28599391 |
| mycoplasma hominis infections transmitted through amniotic tissue product. | mycoplasma hominis is a commensal genitourinary tract organism that can cause infections outside the genitourinary tract. we investigated a cluster of m. hominis surgical site infections in patients who underwent spine surgery, all associated with amniotic tissue linked to a common donor. | 2017 | 28575162 |
