Ureaplasma urealyticum organisms (ureaplasmas) were isolated from the urethra and epididymal aspirate of a man aged 24 who had acute right sided epididymitis. No other microorganisms were detected, and he had no chlamydial antibody response. A fourfold antibody response to the epididymal ureaplasma isolate was detected by two methods, however, and the patient responded clinically to doxycycline...

ureaplasma urealyticum can colonize women genital tract and be isolated from the amniotic fluid of women with adverse pregnancy outcomes. the association of u. urealyticum with spontaneous abortion remains controversial. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of u. urealyticum infection among pregnant women and its association with spontaneous abortion.in this case-control study we...

BACKGROUND The frequent coexistence of two or more sexually transmitted diseases in one patient has been reported in non-dermatological literature, mostly in languages other than English. Identification of Ureaplasma urealyticum, Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma hominis in men with other STDs is important, since these bacteria have been implicated in a variety of diseases such as non-gonoco...

objective: erythrasma is a chronic superficial infection of the intertriginous areas. most laboratories use methylene blue stain and 10% koh smear to identify corynebacterium minutissimum (c. minutissimum) by direct observation of filamentous bacilli. occasionally atypical forms can be seen that create problems in diagnosis. this study aims to use the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) method in o...

Abstract Background: Stphylococcus cohnii is an organism of coagulase negative species which is considered as normal flora. However, it has been isolated from urinary tract infections and surgical prostheses but its relation with staghorn stones has not been reported, yet. Case Presentation: A 50-years-old woman presented with left renal staghorn stone in June 2014. She had bilateral staghorn...

the aim of this study was to assess the effects of nucleotide on intestinal microbiota of striped catfish, pangasianodon hypophthalmus . different levels of the nt (0, 0.25. 0.5, 0.75 and 1 % weight per weight, ww -1 ) were added to basal diet and then randomly allocated to triplicate groups of fish with average initial weight (1.52±0.11 g) for 10 weeks. at the end of the experiment, at least 1...

Ureaplasma urealyticum comprises 14 serotypes. The existing serotyping methods all use polyclonal antibodies. These methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they cannot always be performed on primary isolates; in addition, the results are difficult to interpret. We developed a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method using serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to...
