Abstract

Objective To investigate the infection status and drug resistance of Mycoplasma strains isolated from genitourinary tract and provide strategies for treatment.Methods The results of U urealyticum culture and drug sensitivity tests were explored from 2005 to 2006.Results The mycoplasma infection ratio was 48.48% with Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu)96.43%,Mycoplasma hominis(Mh)2.14% and mixed infection 1.42%,respectively.The drug susceptibility test showed that drug resistance ratios were as follows:to Norfloxacin(64.11%),ofloxacin(45.00%),erythromycin(40.54%),josamycin 1.07%,doxycycline(3.57%)and minocyclin(3.57%),the rate of multiple-resistance 42.14%(236/560).Conclusions Mycoplasma infection in genitourinary tract is mainly due to Uu infection.It have higher multiple-antibiotic resistance.We should rationally choose and use antibiotics according to the drug susceptibility.
