The Prevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibilities of Ureaplasma Urealyticum Isolates in Urogenital Infections

Eighty four men patients with the complaints of urethritis were included. In this research, Mycoplasma IST (BioMerieux sa, France) kit was used for investigation of Ureaplasma urealyticum in the urine samples obtained from patients. By using mycoplasma IST information about the presence or absence of Ureaplasma urealyticum provided. Besides Mycoplasma hominis and their antimicrobial susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents (pristinamycine, doxycycline, josamycin, erythromycine, tetracycline, ofloxacin) were determined. U. urealyticum strains were isolated from 60 (71.43%) patients and M. hominis strain was not isolated from any patient. U. urealyticum isolates were found to be sensitive 100% to tetracycline, 100% to ofloxacin, 95% to doxycycline, 95% to josamycin, 90% to pristinamycin, 88.3% to erythromycin.
