Abstract

OBJECTIVE To investigate the infection status and drug resistance of Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) and Mycoplasma hominis (Mh) isolated from female genitourinary tract. METHODS The specimens of 1890 cases were collected from Jan 2003 to Dec 2006. The results of mycoplasma cultivation and susceptibility test were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Among 1890 cases, there were 756 cases with positive mycoplasma cultivation. Positive rate was 40.0%. Positive rate was the highest at the age of 21 to 40. Among 11 commonly used antibiotics, sensitivity of tetracyclines was the highest,followed by macrolides. Four quinolones all showed the higher resistance. CONCLUSIONS The resistance of commonly used antibiotics in mycoplasma isolated from female genitourinary tract is greatly severe.We should think highly of it.
