Infections and Antibiotic Resistance of Ureaplasma Urealytium and Mycoplasma Hominis in Huangshi Area

OBJECTIVE:To study the infections induced by ureaplasma urealyticum(UU) and mycoplasma hominis(MH) in Huangshi city and their antibiotic resistance for reference of clinical rational drug use.METHODS:UU and MH were detected by mycoplasma rapid culture and drug sensitivity test kit.RESULTS:Of the total 350 patients who were suspected as having nongonococcal urethritis(NGU),152(43.43%) were positive in mycoplasma detection.52 of the total 146 male cases were positive(35.62%),and 100 among the 204 female cases were positive(49.02%),with positive detection rate significantly higher than in male case(χ2=6.222,P0.05).The drug resistant rates of mycoplasma to doxycycline,minocycline,azithromycin,clarithromycin,sparfloxacin,roxithromycin,josamycin,spectinomycin,ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were 14.5%,16.4%,39.5%,44.1%,47.4%,49.3%,52.6%,53.9%,57.2% and 74.4%,respectively.CONCLUSION:Mycoplasma infection rate was high among patients with urinary tract infection and it was more often seen in female than in male in Huangshi city.The drug resistant rates of mycoplasma were low to doxycycline and minocycline while high to ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin.
