Differential recognition of the multiple banded antigen isoforms across Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum species by monoclonal antibodies [PDF]
Two separate species of Ureaplasma have been identified that infect humans: Ureaplasma parvum and Ureaplasma urealyticum. Most notably, these bacteria lack a cell wall and are the leading infectious organism associated with infection-related induction of preterm birth.

Ureaplasma Species: Role in Diseases of Prematurity [PDF]
There is accumulating epidemiologic and experimental evidence that intrauterine or postnatal infection with Ureaplasma species is a significant risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes and complications of extreme preterm birth such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and intraventricular hemorrhage. In a cohort of very low birth weight infants, Ureaplasma

In this study, the phylogenetic relationships between the two biovars and 14 serovars of Ureaplasma urealyticum were studied using the sequences of four different genes or genetic regions, namely: 16S rRNA genes; 16S-23S rRNA gene spacer regions; urease gene subunits ureA, ureB, partial ureC and adjoining regions upstream of ureA, ureA-ureB spacer and ...

Evaluation of Mycotrim-GU for isolation of Mycoplasma species and Ureaplasma urealyticum [PDF]
The Mycotrim-GU (Hana Biologics, Berkeley, Calif.) biphasic culture system and a conventional system were compared for their ability to detect Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma species in 100 clinical specimens. Both systems detected 18 Mycoplasma spp. isolates.

Activity of herbicolin A against Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, Ureaplasma, and Spiroplasma species [PDF]
Herbicolin A, a novel acyl peptide antibiotic, inhibits the growth of the sterol-requiring Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, and Spiroplasma species, with MICs varying from 1.5 to 100 micrograms/ml. With the exception of Acholeplasma modicum, all of the non-sterol-requiring species of the family Acholeplasmataceae were totally resistant to herbicolin A when ...

Placental Features of Chorioamnionitis Colonized With Ureaplasma Species in Preterm Delivery [PDF]
Ureaplasma spp. is detected in the urogenital tract, including the vagina, cervix, chorioamnion, and placenta. Their colonization is associated with histologic chorioamnionitis (CAM), often observed in placentas from preterm delivery. We isolated Ureaplasma spp. from 63 preterm placentas among 151 specimens, which were delivered at
