Mycoplasma hominis (M.h.) and Ureaplasma urealyticum (U.u.) are members of Mycoplsma, class Moliculites. There are bacteria that are commensal to the vagina, but can cause urogenital infections, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) premature birth in pregnant women. In men they produce nongonococcal urethritis infections and are also involved in infertility, reducing sperm motility.
Surveillance of antibiotic resistance is necessary in the context in which it is constantly growing. The test was performed on galleries with wells containing antibiotics in two concentrations (except Pristinamycin)
Of the 130 men tested, 15% were positive for the U.u. and 2% for M.H. while out of 169 women 56% were positive for the U.u. and 5% for M.h.
The highest resistance to antibiotics was with Ciprofloxacin (83% U.u. and 11% M.h.). M.h has high resistance to antibiotics in the Macrolides group (92%).
