Summary: The study found that only Mycoplasma hominis was associated with symptoms/signs in nonpregnant women, specifically related to bacterial vaginosis. Ureaplasma species were not associated with symptoms/signs. Therefore, routine testing for Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Ureaplasma parvum in nonpregnant women is not supported.

Summary: This article reports four cases of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-associated peritonitis caused by Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma parvum, and Ureaplasma urealyticum, along with a literature review. The four cases were female patients with recurrent culture-negative PD-associated peritonitis, which was related to menstruation. These pathogens were detected in the PD fluid of the patients using metagenomic next-generation sequencing. All four patients were cured by intraperitoneal tigecycline combined with oral azithromycin or minocycline. Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma parvum, and Ureaplasma urealyticum should be given more attention in female patients with recurrent culture-negative PD-associated peritonitis, especially when it is related to menstruation, sexual intercourse, or urogenital tract operation. Moreover, metagenomic next-generation sequencing can provide a reasonable method to identify the pathogen for culture-negative PD-associated peritonitis.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of azithromycin-resistant U. urealyticum and M. hominis infections in pregnant women and explored the possible influencing factors and consequences of insensitive Mycoplasma infection. It was found that azithromycin-resistant cervical Mycoplasma infection in pregnant women was associated with a significantly increased incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Summary: This study analyzed the current situation of Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections among obstetrics and gynecological outpatients in southwest China. The study found a high prevalence of UU infections and its role in mixed infections. Maternal UU infection was associated with low birth weight and premature delivery. The results of this study are important for improving intervention, prevention, and treatment strategies for reproductive tract infections.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of HPV, STIs, and their co-infections on different genders and ages. The results showed that there were significant differences in the distribution of HPV subtypes between different genders. Females were more susceptible to HR-HPV 52 and 31, while males were more susceptible to LR-HPV 6 and 11. Additionally, younger patients had a higher incidence of STIs. Patients with HPV infections, regardless of gender, had a higher incidence of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT).

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of genital Mollicutes infections among infertile patients and found a high infection rate of M. hominis, U. urealyticum, and M. genitalium. The study also identified differences in infection rates based on gender and age. The results underscore the importance of using molecular methods for diagnosing these infections and highlight the need for increased attention to urogenital infections in infertility clinics.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Ureaplasma urealyticum in fertile and infertile women. It found that bacterial infections were higher in the infertile group, suggesting a potential association between these bacterial agents and female infertility. Timely control and treatment of these infections may be important for preventing and treating infertility and improving community health.

Summary: We retrospectively reviewed reports of 4,166 female outpatients detected by the mycoplasma identification verification and antibiotic susceptibility kit from the last five years. Among them, more than 73.3% of cases with Ureaplasma urealyticum or Mycoplasma hominis single infection or co-infection with both species were susceptible to three tetracyclines and one macrolide (josamycin). Additionally, more than 84.8%, less than 4.4%, and less than 39.6% of the U. urealyticum, M. hominis, and co-infection cases, respectively, were susceptible to clarithromycin and roxithromycin. Four quinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, sparfloxacin, and levofloxacin) and three macrolides (azithromycin, erythromycin, and acetylspiramycin) were active against less than 48.9% of the isolates. Furthermore, 77.8%, 18.4%, and 7.5% of the M. hominis, U. urealyticum, and co-infection cases, respectively, were susceptible to spectinomycin.

Summary: Cervicitis is mainly caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis, but the role of newer organisms like Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma sp. is not well established. This study from north India found that only M. genitalium was significantly associated with cervicitis in terms of age and symptoms like discharge and dysuria. The bacterial load of these organisms was not significantly associated with cervicitis in the study.

Summary: This study investigated the mRNA expression and correlation of activation markers and associated cytokines/prostaglandin receptors in the placenta of Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum-infected women with spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). The results suggest that these markers may play a role in inflammation and immunotolerance during infection-induced preterm birth.

Summary: This study found that Chlamydia trachomatis, Ureaplasma spp., and Mycoplasma hominis are prevalent uropathogens in patients with couple's primary infertility. Male patients showed higher prevalence of C. trachomatis and M. hominis infections, while female patients had higher rates of Ureaplasma spp. infection. In patients younger than 25 years, C. trachomatis and Ureaplasma spp. infections were significantly higher. Ureaplasma spp. and M. hominis infections were associated with each other and were reciprocal risk factors of their co-infection in patients.
