Genital Mycoplasma Infection in Cases of Abortion

Chlamydial lower genital tract infection and spontaneous abortion.

OBJECTIVE Few previous studies have examined the role that acute Chlamydia trachomatis lower genital tract infection plays in the development of spontaneous abortion. This study evaluated cervical C. trachomatis infections among 52 women experiencing spontaneous abortion and 59 controls. METHODS Pregnant women at less than 22 weeks of gestation who sought medical care in an emergency departme...

Molecular epidemiology of cases of Mycoplasma californicum infection in Japan.

Bovine mastitis due to Mycoplasma californicum is often accompanied by huge economic losses, and the disease spreads very quickly. An appropriate molecular epidemiological analysis is needed to prevent and control infectious disease, but molecular epidemiological analysis methods for M. californicum have not yet been reported. Here we developed a combination of multiple-locus variable-number ta...

Brucella Infection Causing Abortion in Human Beings

the relationship between chlamydia trachomatis genital infection and spontaneous abortion

background: chlamydia trachomatis is the etiology of most of sexually transmitted diseases. colonization of c. trachomatis in the genital tract during early gestation has been associated with preterm birth, and preterm premature rupture of the membranes. the role of c. trachomatis on spontaneous abortion has not yet been proved completely. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of ...

Evaluation of Mycoplasma Muris and Pulmonis infections in Genital and Respiratory Tracts

Abstract Mycoplasma pulmonis and muris infections have been associated with several diseases in conventionally housed laboratory rat and mice colonies. In naturally infected of mycoplasma pulmonis in mice and rat colonies, the respiratory organ appears to be the favored site of colonization; so, it was not surprising to see that infection spread from the site of urogenital tract to the respirat...

Isolation and molecular identification of Mycoplasma equigenitalium from equine genital tracts in northern India

Although Mycoplasma equigenitalium has been implicated in equine reproductive problems, its prevalence is largely unexplored due to the lack of specific diagnostic tests. To address this limitation, the authors developed and optimized species-specific primer pairs that target M. eguigenitalium rpoB (RNA polymerase B subunit) gene sequences. The specificity of the PCR assay developed in this stu...
