| 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 |

| persistence of mycoplasma hominis after therapy: importance of tetracycline resistance and of coexisting vaginal flora. | in past studies mycoplasma hominis has persisted after treatment with placebo, penicillins, or rifampin in 88-97% of women and 49-77% of men with infections of the lower genital tract. among women with nonspecific vaginitis, m. hominis persisted in only a third of those treated with metronidazole as compared with at least 70% of those treated with ampicillin (p = 0.01), even though m. hominis is resistant in vitro to metronidazole and to its acid and hydroxy metabolites. persistence of m. homini ... | 1983 | 6229892 |
| incidence of genital mycoplasmas in women at the time of diagnostic laparoscopy. | the cervicovaginal and endometrial isolation rates of ureaplasma urealyticum and mycoplasma hominis and relevant demographic data were obtained at the time of laparoscopy in 193 women from infertile marriage. for comparative purposes, fertile women undergoing laparoscopy for tubal ligation (n = 56) or other purposes (n = 64) were also cultured. blacks were more likely than caucasians to be infected with either organism in all population types (p less than or equal to .05); however, no difference ... | 1983 | 6236618 |
| the activity of ciprofloxacin and other 4-quinolones against chlamydia trachomatis and mycoplasmas in vitro. | ciprofloxacin was found to be the most active of a group of 4-quinolone antibiotics tested against the sa2f strain of chlamydia trachomatis (mbc and mic 1.0 mg/l). against genital isolates of chlamydia trachomatis, ciprofloxacin was twice as active as rosoxacin. ciprofloxacin showed similar activity to that of oxytetracycline against clinical isolates of mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum, and was 8-fold more active than rosoxacin against the latter. | 1984 | 6237903 |
| vaginitis in sexually active women: relationship to nine sexually transmitted organisms. | women seen for symptoms suggestive of vulvovaginitis were studied for the detection of mycoplasma hominis. ureaplasma urealyticum, yeast, neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, gardnerella vaginalis, herpes simplex virus, group b beta-hemolytic streptococci, aerobes, anaerobes, and trichomonas vaginalis. asymptomatic women who reported to be sexually active and agreed to undergo comprehensive genital cultures were used as controls. there was a significant association of vulvovaginitis wit ... | 1982 | 6280502 |
