Studies on T-strain mycoplasmas in nongonococcal urethritis.

T-strains of mycoplasma and nongonococcal urethritis.

Since the isolation by Dienes and Esdall (1937) of a strain of Mycoplasma from a patient with a Bartholin's gland abscess, numerous attempts have been made to provide definite proof of the aetiological role of Mycoplasma in urogenital tract infections, especially nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). Most of the earlier studies were concerned with Mycoplasma hominis, but it now appears that this spec...

Nongonococcal urethritis associated with T strains of mycoplasma. MF12.524.009-80003.12.

The biological properties of T strains of mycoplasma, the development of methods for their isolation and cultivation, their detection in clinical exudates by means of the urease reaction, and their identification by laboratory methods are reviewed. The current status of T-strain mycoplasma-associated nongonococcal urethritis in the male is reviewed and discussed. Evidence in support of the infe...

Therapeutics of nongonococcal urethritis.

Primary non-gonococcal urethritis of venereal origin is usually abacterial. This is also the case when the disease follows rectal coitus (Harkness, 1950). When organisms are present in the secretions in untreated cases the disease is more likely to have been caused by infections descending from a urethral stricture, the prostate, or lesions of the upper urinary tract. It can also be caused mech...
