Genitourinary mycoplasma infection in 9752 cases and their drug susceptibility test

Objective To investigate the genitourinary mycoplasma infection and drug susceptibility test in our region in order to provide the evidence for rational use of drugs. Methods Clinical symptoms of 9 752 patients with genitourinary mycoplasma infection admitted to our hospital from January 2006-December 2010,and their mycoplasma culture identification and drug susceptibility test were statistically analyzed. Results Of the 9 752 patients,6 215（63.7%） were positive for genitourinary mycoplasma.The main pathogen was mycoplasma urealytium（Uu）.The number of Uu-infected patients tended to increase in the past 5 years during which the positive infection rate was 35.1%,38.2%,47.6%,48.9%,and 49.7%,respectively.The positive infection rate was higher in women than in men.The patients infected with both Uu and Mh were sensitive to doxycycline,minocycline and josamycin but resistant to other drugs（over 56%）. Conclusion Uu and Mh infection can induce genitourinary inflammation.It is necessary for clinical physicians to culture mycoplasma,conduct drug susceptibility tests,and rationally use antibiotics.
