Evidence has accumulated concerning the association of micro-organisms of the genus Chlamydia with Reiter's syndrome (RS). Isolations have been reported from the conjunctiva, genital tract, and synovial fluid or tissue, and antichlamydial complement-fixing (CF) antibodies have been demonstrated in the sera of patients (Schachter, Barnes, Jones, Engleman, and Meyer, 1966; Schachter, 1967; Kinsel...
The AccuProbe chemiluminescent culture identification test for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gen-Probe Inc., San Diego, Calif.) was assessed in a comparative evaluation with other rapid methods by using 269 isolates of oxidase-positive, gram-negative diplococci. Chemiluminescence was read with a PAL luminometer, and results were expressed as PAL light units (PLUs): the cutoff value for a positive iden...
BACKGROUND Chlamydia trachomatis and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae account for approximately one-third to one-half of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) cases. Thus, up to 70% of cases have an unknown, nongonococcal/nonchlamydial microbial etiology. METHODS We investigated the associations of N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, bacterial vaginosis, anaerobic bacteria, facultative bacteria, and lactobac...
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...
Ureaplasma spp. cause several disorders, such as nongonococcal urethritis, miscarriage, and preterm delivery with lung infections in neonates, characterized by pathological chorioamnionitis in the placenta. Although reports on antibiotic resistance in Ureaplasma are on the rise, reports on quinolone-resistant Ureaplasma infections in Japan are limited. The purpose of this study was to determine...
Mycoplasma genitalium is a cause of nongonococcal urethritis, particularly in patients not infected with Chlamydia trachomatis. A quantitative 5' nuclease assay (TaqMan PCR) was developed and validated. The assay detected a fragment of the MgPa adhesin gene by use of a TaqMan MGB (minor groove binder) probe and included an internal processing control to detect PCR inhibition. Urethral swab spec...
Ever since the advent of molecular methods, the diagnostics of Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been troubled by false negative and false positive results compared with culture. Commensal Neisseria species and Neisseria meningitidis are closely related to N. gonorrhoeae and may cross-react when using molecular tests comprising too-low specificity. We have devised a real-time polymerase chain reaction ...
Mycoplasma genitalium is a facultative anaerobic organism and a recognized cause of nongonococcal urethritis in men. In women, M. genitalium has been associated with cervicitis, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and adverse birth outcomes, indicating a consistent relationship with female genital tract pathology. T...
We performed a genotypic characterization of seven strains of Mycoplasma fermentans which have been isolated from the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 2), spondyloarthropathy (n = 1), and unclassified arthritis (n = 4). We compared them to three reference strains (strains PG18 and K7 and incognitus strain) and to a clinical isolate from the urethra of a patient with non...
Urethral specimens from 477 men were collected with endourethral swabs and examined for Chlamydia trachomatis by cell culture on McCoy cells pretreated with idoxuridine. Of these men, 141 had gonococcal urethritis, 262 non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU), and 74 showed no evidence of urethritis. Of 118 men with heterosexually acquired gonococcal urethritis, thirty (25 per cent.), and of 23 men with...
