A study on genotyping of ureaplasma urealyticum in female genitourinary tract

Ureaplasma urealyticum(UU) parasitizes mainly in genitourinary tract and genital gland of mankind.It is a major pathogen that causes not only infection of genitourinary system but also infertility of the males or the females,and also,it is a common pathogen of sexually transmitted disease(STD).Further genotyping for this opportunistic pathogen is the key to judge infection and pathogen carrying state,so genotyping of ureaplasma urealyticum becomes a hot spot of the study at present.In this paper,we summarized progress in research on pathogenesis,genotyping,genotyping method of ureaplasma urealyticum and relationship of genotyping of ureaplasma urealyticum with clinical epidemiology of the disease so as to explore important roles of genotyping of UU in research on pathogenesis of female genitourinary tract infection.
