Abstract

OBJECTIVE To investigate urogenital mycoplasma infection and drug sensitivity. METHODS Drug sensitivity of 598 urogenital samples to ten antibiotics were detected with Mycoplasma Reagent Box. RESULTS From 598 cases 233 cases(39.0%,male 39.1% and female 38.8%)were with positive rate of culture. From them 159(68.2%) cases were with Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu), more higher than Mycoplasma hominis(Mh)infection(14 cases, 6.0%)or complicated Uu and Mh infection(60 cases, 25.8%)(P0.01).The result of drug sensitivity test showed that 95.7% mycoplasma were drug resistant. Uu, Mh and Uu-Mh isolated from both sexes had different drug resistance. CONCLUSIONS It is important to enhance the detection of drug resistance of mycoplasma, guide the drug use and prevent from producing antibiotic-resistant mycoplasma.
