Abstract

Objective To compare the isolation rate of Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu), Mycoplasma hominis(Mh) and Chlamydia trachomatis(CT), and to analyze the resistance of Mh and Uu to 6 kinds of antibiotics. Methods CT in genitourinary tract of 1 059 NGU patients was detected by kit of VIDAS. Uu and Mh in genitourinary tract was detected by kit of IST. Results From 1 059 tested samples, the total positive percentage for Mycoplasma and Chlamydia was 36.3% and 5.6% respectively, 14.8% and 3.7% for Mycoplasma and Chlamydia from male samples, 52.6% and 7.2% for Mycoplasma and Chlamydia from female samples. The colony counting result showed that the number of female samples with colonies more than 104 cfu/ml was greater than that of male samples, 73.2% versus 60.3% for Uu and 30.5% versus 25% for Mh. The sensitivity of Mycoplasma to antimicrobial agents was as follows from high to low: Pristinamycine, Doxycycline, Josamycin, Tetracycline, Ofloxacin, Erythromycin. Conclusions The isolation of Mycoplasma was more than that of Chlamydia from patients with genitourinary tract infection.Resistance monitoring of Mycoplasma periodically played an important role in clinical drug treatment.
