Ureaplasma sp. infection in neonates and adults underlies a variety of disease pathologies. Of the two human Ureaplasma spp., Ureaplasma parvum is clinically the most common. We have developed a high-resolution melt (HRM) PCR assay for the differentiation of the four serovars of U. parvum in a single step. Currently U. parvum strains are separated into four serovars by sequencing the promoter a...

Infectious pericardial effusion with tamponade is an uncommon but life-threatening disease. We report an unusual case of spontaneous Ureaplasma pericardial effusion with tamponade associated with pneumonia, pleural effusion, and urinary tract infection. All published cases of clinically invasive Ureaplasma infections in the adult population are also reviewed.

Mycoplasma is causing many reproductive diseases and genital disorders, as they are associated with other bacteria such Ureaplasma urealyticum. The aim of the study to determine relationships between fastidious microbial infection (Mycoplasma spp. spp.) some immunological parameters for urinary-genital tract infections (UGTIs). includes a collection (223) samples (urine blood) from UGTIs patien...

Ureaplasma, a member of mycoplasmas, has a unique ATP synthesis system, which is coupled to the urea hydrolysis. Urease catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia. Phylogenetic analyses of the urease genes indicated that Ureaplasma urease genes were not gained by recent horizontal transfer and have a unique evolutionary process. Ureaplasma unique ATP synthesis system leade...

Objective. We compared laboratory developed real-time PCR assays for detection of Mycoplasma hominis and for detection and differentiation of Ureaplasma urealyticum and parvum to culture using genitourinary specimens submitted for M. hominis and Ureaplasma culture. Methods. 283 genitourinary specimens received in the clinical bacteriology laboratory for M. hominis and Ureaplasma species culture...

Abstract Background Ureaplasma spp . are associated with various infectious diseases in females, but there is still limited evidence regarding whether they related to nonspecific cervicitis. The aim of this study was develop and evaluate a digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) assay for the detection quantification spp. cervical swabs. Methods A total 267 non-specific cervicitis (NSC) patients 195 asympt...
