چکیده
conclusions according to the direct correlation between the increase in the prevalence rate of genital mycoplasmas and increased age of pregnancy, initially, it is better to prevent pregnancy at older ages, and then, should a pregnancy occur, the highest levels of health cares should be provided to older pregnant women. materials and methods three hundred and fifty high vaginal swabs were taken from pregnant women. commercial mycoplasma ist-2 kit was used for bacterial isolation. the results of the kits were confirmed using the pcr. the pattern of antibiotic resistance was determined using the disk diffusion method. results of 350 samples collected, 32 samples (9.14%) were positive for u. urealyticum and 10 samples (2.85%) were positive for m. hominis (p = 0.025). both u. urealyticum and m. hominis were simultaneously detected in 1.14% of samples. in addition, 40 - 45-year-old pregnant women had the highest levels of u. urealyticum (27.5%), m. hominis (12.5%), and both bacteria (7.5%). u. urealyticum and m. hominis isolates harbored the highest levels of resistance against ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, erythromycin, and tetracycline. both isolates were susceptible to pefloxacin, clarithromycin, josamycin, and pristinamycin. background mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum bring with them an increased risk of pregnancy complications, such as premature membrane rupture, vaginitis and preterm birth. objectives the present investigation was carried out to study the prevalence of m. hominis and u. urealyticum in pregnant women and to study their resistance against commonly used antibiotics.

متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Ureaplasma species and Mycoplasma hominis in pregnant women
BACKGROUND Genital mycoplasmas colonise up to 80% of sexually mature women and may invade the amniotic cavity during pregnancy and cause complications. Tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones are contraindicated in pregnancy and erythromycin is often used to treat patients. However, increasing resistance to common antimicrobial agents is widely reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate ...
متن کاملPrevalence and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum in Pregnant Women
Mycoplasma hominis (M. hominis) and Ureaplasma urealyticum (U. urealyticum) are important opportunistic pathogens that cause urogenital infections and complicate pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, effects on pregnancy outcomes, and antimicrobial susceptibilities of M. hominis and U. urealyticum. We tested vaginal swabs obtained from 1035 pregnant women for the p...

Background: Sexually transmitted infections are the most common human infections that lead to severe complications. Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) and Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) are common and important cause of genitourinary tract infections. MG is a member of genital mycoplasmas which is emerging as an important causative agent of sexually transmitted infections both in males and females. This s...
