چکیده
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 infectiousness and possible role of T strains of mycoplasma as one of the major etiologic agents of nongonococcal urethritis is summarized.

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...

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 کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Mycoplasma hominis Strain Sprott (ATCC 33131), Isolated from a Patient with Nongonococcal Urethritis
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.
متن کاملRole of Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma urealyticum in acute and chronic nongonococcal urethritis.
One hundred fourteen heterosexual men with acute nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) and 64 patients without NGU were studied. We determined that Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium were strongly associated with acute NGU after controlling, by means of multivariate analysis, for age, race, sexual lifestyle, and coinfection (odds ratio [OR], 13.0, 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.6-64.5; a...
