Abstract

OBJECTIVE To understand the situation of Mycoplasma infection and drug sensitivity in the patients of nongonococcal urethritis(NGU) in area of Yuebei. METHODS Totally 3 280 specimens in the patients of NGU were collected,cultured and tested for drug sensitivity. RESULTS From them there were 1 221 patients who had Mycoplasma(37.22%).The simple infection of Ureaplasma urealyticun(Uu) was 922 cases(28.11%) and Mycoplasma(Mh) 91 cases(2.77%),respectively.The mixed was 208 cases(6.34%).The result of drug sensitivity showed that sensitivity of Mycoplasma to josamycin was the highest,then was to levofloxacin(Cravit) and sparfloxacin.Ciprofloxacin was with the highest drug resistance,then were erythromycin and doxycycline. CONCLUSIONS Mycoplasma have high drug resistance to ciprofloxacin,erythromycin and doxycycline.The resistance rate to minocycline and clarithromycin is in a rising tendency.The antibiotics should be used reasonably to reduce the development of drug-resistant strains.
