Abstract

Objective To understand the mycoplasma infection and drug resistance of mycoplasma from the urogenital samples of STD patients.Methods Mycoplasma detection kit was used to detect mycoplasma and its sensitivity to different antibiotics in 186 cases suspected with nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). Results 88 cases were mycoplasma positive (47 73%). 47 cases were Ureaplasma urealytcum(Uu) positive (25 27%). The cultured mycoplasma was sensitive to josamycin (97 7%), azithromycin (96 6%), doxycycline (94 3%), roxithromycin (90 9%), ofloxacin (88 6%), minocyclin (87 5%), norfloxacin (80 7%), spirmycin (73 9%), erythromycin (72 7%), and tetracycline (67%). Conclusion Josamycin, azithromycin, doxycycline, and roxithromycin should be chosen to treat mycoplasma infection in the first trial. Tetracycline should not be chosen for the treatment of mycoplasma infection.
