Abstract

OBJECTIVE To investigate the characteristics of mycoplasma infection and antifungal resistance to guide the clinical reasonable usage.METHODS Mycoplasma was isolated and its antibiotic susceptibility was detected by Mycoplasma IES test kit.RESULTS Among the 1103 samples,418(37.8%) were positive,including 268 with Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu)(64.1%),13 with Mycoplasma hominis(Mh)(3.1%),and 137 with mixed infection(Uu and Mh)(32.8%),Young people with the age from 20 to 45 were the highest group of infection(80.1%),Sensitive antibiotics to mycoplasma in precedence order were doxycyline,minocycline,tetracycline,josamycin,and clarythromycin.CONCLUSIONS Mycoplasma is a common pathogen resulting in urogenital tract infection.We should pay more attention to monitor mycoplasma infection and use antibiotics properly and to guide clinically antibiotics usage.
