Ureaplasma parvum serovar 3 multiple banded antigen size variation after chronic intra-amniotic infection/colonization. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Ureaplasma species are the microorganisms most frequently associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. The multiple banded antigen (MBA), a surface-exposed lipoprotein, is a key virulence factor of ureaplasmas.

Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Ureaplasma species and Mycoplasma hominis in pregnant women [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2014
Genital mycoplasmas colonise up to 80% of sexually mature women and may invade the amniotic cavity during pregnancy and cause complications. Tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones are contraindicated in pregnancy and erythromycin is often used to treat patients. However, increasing resistance to common antimicrobial agents is widely reported.

The Role of Mycoplasma Species and Ureaplasma Species in Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1996
The cause of feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) is frequently difficult to determine and may be multifactorial. A controlled cohort study was performed to examine the role of Mycoplasma species and Ureaplasma species in FLUTD. Based on culture and serologic criteria, these microorganisms did not appear to be involved in the group of cats ...

Different degrees of maternal Ureaplasma colonization and its correlation with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in <32 weeks' preterm infants

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2019
Background: Ureaplasma spp. is a known risk factor for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). However, little is known about the effect of different degrees of maternal Ureaplasma colonization and their adverse outcomes.

Comparative evaluation of media for isolation of ureaplasma urealyticum and genital mycoplasma species [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1982
Two media systems were compared for isolation of Ureaplasma urealyticum and genital Mycoplasma sp. System 1 (S-1) consisted of arginine agar and an arginine biphasic medium for isolation of Mycoplasma sp. and urea agar and urea broth for isolation of U. urealyticum.

Chromosomal Mutations Responsible for Fluoroquinolone Resistance in Ureaplasma Species in the United States [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2012
ABSTRACT We sequenced the full lengths of the gyrA , gyrB , parC , and parE genes in 13 fluoroquinolone-resistant Ureaplasma isolates (levofloxacin MICs, 4 to 32 μg/ml) and 10 susceptible isolates (MICs ≤ 2 μg ...
