The complete genome sequence of Mycoplasma hominis LBD-4 has been determined and the gene content ascribed. The 715,165-bp chromosome contains 620 genes, including 14 carried by a strain-variable prophage genome related to Mycoplasma fermentans MFV-1 and Mycoplasma arthritidis MAV-1. Comparative analysis with the genome of M. hominis PG21(T) reveals distinctive arrangements of repeat-containing...

Objectives: The symbiosis of Trichomonas vaginalis and Mycoplasma hominis is the first described association between two obligate human parasites. Trichomonas is the niche and the vector for the transmission of M. hominis infection. This clinically significant symbiosis may affect T. vaginalis virulence and susceptibility to treatment. The aims of this study were to investigate the intracellula...

background: mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum microorganisms may play a role in infertility. the aim of this study is to determine prevalence of mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum microorganisms in infertile women and their husbands. methods: in this cross-sectional study presence of mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum were examined in infertile couples who have...

BACKGROUND Mycoplasma hominis is a fastidious micro-organism causing systemic infections in the neonate and genital infections in the adult. It can also be the cause of serious extra-genital infections, mainly in immunosuppressed or predisposed subjects. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a case of severe pneumonia and pericarditis due to Mycoplasma hominis in a previously healthy adolescent who d...

The Mycoplasma hominis infection is a rare postoperative complication after joint replacement. Based on our knowledge, there were only two cases reported by Korea all over the world currently. A case of postoperative Mycoplasma hominis infection after total knee replacement in our hospital was reported in this article. It was confirmed through mass spectrometer and Mycoplasma cultivation and tr...

The nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA genes from the type strains of three seal mycoplasmas, Mycoplasma phocicerebrale, Mycoplasma phocae and Mycoplasma phocirhinis (formerly Mycoplasma phocacerebrale, Mycoplasma phocidae and Mycoplasma phocarhinis, respectively), were determined by direct DNA cycle sequencing. Polymorphisms were found in all three 16S rRNA gene sequences, showing the existe...

The objective of this study was to analyze the infection rate and drug resistance Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) Mycoplasma hominis (MH) in genitourinary tract Chinese patients. From December 2018 June 2019, vaginal secretion or urinary outpatients our hospital were selected for culture sensitivity analysis hominis. In 4082 samples, 1567 detected, a detection 38.39%, among which 1366 cases UU sing...

Mycoplasma hominis is commonly involved in genitourinary tract infections. We report a 59-year-old man who developed a M. hominis-associated mediastinitis following acute tonsillar infection.

Mycoplasma are the smallest free–living organisms which can grow on artificial media. Although some Mycoplasma are normal commensals, others are proven pathogens of respiratory and urogenital tracts.In this survey, 221 collected samples of 121 patients with urogenital infections (54.7%) and 100 patients with respiratory infections (45.3%) were examined. These patients were either referred to or...
