Differential agar medium (A7) for identification of Ureaplasma urealyticum (human T mycoplasmas) in primary cultures of clinical material.
A differential agar medium for the identification of Ureaplasma urealyticum in primary cultures of clinical specimens is described. The differential medium (no. A7) is specific for the identification of U. urealyticum and other members of the genus Ureaplasma. Large-colony, classical Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma species and Proteus L colonies are unreactive on this differential medium. The mediu...
متن کاملEvaluation of Mycotrim-GU for isolation of Mycoplasma species and Ureaplasma urealyticum.
The Mycotrim-GU (Hana Biologics, Berkeley, Calif.) biphasic culture system and a conventional system were compared for their ability to detect Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma species in 100 clinical specimens. Both systems detected 18 Mycoplasma spp. isolates. The average colony detection time was 1.9 days with the Mycotrim-GU and 2.3 days with the conventional system. The Mycotrim-GU aga...
متن کاملTetracycline-resistant T-mycoplasmas (Ureaplasma urealyticum) from patients with a history of reproductive failure.
The susceptibilities of T-mycoplasmas (Ureaplasma urealyticum) to minocycline, demeclocycline, doxycycline, tetracycline, and erythromycin were determined by a direct tube dilution test. T-mycoplasma-positive urine sediments of 105 patients with a history of reproductive failure were used as inocula. Minocycline was found to be the most active of the group of antibiotics commonly used to eradic...
متن کاملIn Vitro Susceptibility of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis Isolates in Argentina
OBJECTIVE Our goal was to determine the in vitro susceptibility of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis isolates to several antibiotics in Argentina. METHODS Ninety-four strains of U. urealyticum and 18 strains of M. hominis isolated from cervical and urethral specimens were studied. Broth microdilution and agar dilution tests for minocycline, tetracycline, erythromycin, ciprofloxaci...
متن کاملPneumonitis associated with Ureaplasma urealyticum in children with cancer.
We describe 3 pediatric patients with cancer who had clinical and radiographic evidence of pneumonitis and for whom cultures of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid specimens yielded Ureaplasma urealyticum. Two of the patients died; for the surviving patient, clinical improvement coincided temporally with administration of erythromycin. Immunocompromised patients with pneumonitis of unclear etiology sh...
