Prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of Ureaplasma urealyticum in Malaysian neonates with respiratory distress.

Molecular evidence of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum colonization in preterm infants during respiratory distress syndrome

BACKGROUND Ureaplasma urealyticum and U. parvum have been associated with respiratory diseases in premature newborns, but their role in the pathogenesis of the respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is unclear. The aim of this study was to detect, using molecular techniques, the role of Mycoplasma spp. and Ureaplasma spp. in respiratory secretion and blood specimens of preterm newborns with or wit...

Detection of Ureaplasma Urealyticum in Clinical Samples from Infertile Women by Polymerase Chain Reaction

Genital Ureaplasma urealyticum infection is considered to be a sexually transmitted infection. The bacterium has been found to be involved in PID, chorioamnionitis, urethritis, respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia in newborn, abortion and infertility. U. urealyticum infections not only jeopardize fertility but also pose a risk for infertility treatment and resulting pregnancies. The purp...

An evaluation of the usefulness of a culture system for the detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum in the endotracheal aspirates of neonates.

In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of a culture system used in our laboratory for the detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum in the endotracheal aspirates of neonates. Ureaplasmal broth was used to enhance the growth of U. urealyticum followed by observation of colonies on A7 agar. Of the 68 samples of endotracheal aspirates tested, 60 gave positive indication of urease activity by the bro...

Prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum in genital samples collected over 6 years at a Serbian university hospital.

BACKGROUND Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are implicated in a wide array of infectious diseases in adults and children. Since some species have innate or acquired resistance to certain types of antibiotics, antibiotic susceptibility testing of mycoplasma isolated from the urogenital tract assumes increasing importance. AIMS To evaluate the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibili...
