Complete Genome Sequence of Mycoplasma hominis Strain Sprott (ATCC 33131), Isolated from a Patient with Nongonococcal Urethritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Presented here is the complete and annotated genome sequence of Mycoplasma hominis Sprott (ATCC 33131). The chromosome comprises 695,214 bp, which is approximately 30 kb larger than the syntenic genome of M. hominis PG21(T). Tetracycline resistance of strain Sprott is most probably conferred by the tetM determinant, harbored on a mosaic transposon-like structure.

The presence of the tetracycline resistance determinant tetM has been reported for Mycoplasma hominis (1, 2) and association with Tn916 genes established (3). To identify the mobile genetic element harboring this gene, genome analysis of M. hominis Sprott (isolated from a nongonococcal urethritis patient before 1978 [4]) and targeted PCR/amplicon sequencing of M. hominis 1630 (1984, arthritis i...

Abstract Background and objectives: Ureaplasma urealyticum is one of the most important causes of Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) and non-specific urethritis (NSU) in men. Also Mycoplasma hominis has a role in causing NGU and NSU. The aim of this study was the detection of Mycoplasma hominis & Ureaplasma urealyticum in men suffering from NGU and NSU by prostatic massage method and first- void Ur...
متن کاملT-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...

Urethral specimens from 726 patients with nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) were examined for Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Mycoplasma hominis. Chlamydiae were isolated from 35.9% of ureaplasma-positive patients and from 36.5% of ureaplasma-negative patients. Ureaplasmas were isolated from 52.5% of chlamydia-positive patients and from 53.1% of chlamydia-negative patients, an o...

Introduction: Ureaplasma uriealyticum is one of the most important causes of Nongonococcal and Nonspecific urethritis (NGU & NSU) in men. Mycoplasma hominis too has a causal role in NGU & NSU. This study aimed to investigate whether it is possible to detect Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma uriealyticum in first voided urine samples in men suffering from NGU & NSU without complaints of urethral...
