Neisseria meningitidis ST11 Complex Isolates Associated with Nongonococcal Urethritis, Indiana, USA, 2015–2016
At a clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, we observed an increase in Neisseria gonorrhoeae-negative men with suspected gonococcal urethritis who had urethral cultures positive for N. meningitidis.

متن کاملNongonococcal 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...
متن کاملTherapeutics 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...
