Differential association of ureaplasma species with non-gonococcal urethritis in heterosexual men [PDF]

Sexually Transmitted Infections, 2010
To assess the role of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum in patients with non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) using specimens from a previously reported study of NGU.Species-specific PCR assays for U urealyticum and U parvum were used to detect these organisms in specimens from men enrolled in a case-control study based in a Seattle STD clinic in

Detecting the Diversity of Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma Endosymbionts Hosted by Trichomonas vaginalis Isolates

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Objectives: The symbiosis of Trichomonas vaginalis and Mycoplasma hominis is the first described association between two obligate human parasites. Trichomonas is the niche and the vector for the transmission of M. hominis infection.

Novel insights into neuroinflammation: bacterial lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor α, and Ureaplasma species differentially modulate atypical chemokine receptor 3 responses in human brain microvascular endothelial cells

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2018
Background Atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3, synonym CXCR7) is increasingly considered relevant in neuroinflammatory conditions, in which its upregulation contributes to compromised endothelial barrier function and may ultimately allow inflammatory ...

Presence of mycoplasma and ureaplasma species in the vagina of women of reproductive age

West African Journal of Medicine, 2007
Against the background of genital mycoplasmas being implicated as pathogens in the genital tracts of adult humans, this study was carried out to determine the prevalence of genital mycoplasmas among women of reproductive age attending a tertiary-care hospital in Nigeria.One hundred and sixty-eight high vaginal specimens from 114 pregnant and 54 non ...

Development of New PCR Assay with SYBR Green I for Detection of Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, and Ureaplasma sp. in Cell Cultures

Diagnostics, 2021
Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, and Ureaplasma sp. are atypical bacteria responsible for in vitro cell culture contaminations that can warp the results. These bacteria also cause human and animal infections and may lead to chronic diseases.

Effects of respiratory disease on Kele piglets lung microbiome, assessed through 16S rRNA sequencing [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2020
Background and Aim: Due to the incomplete development of the immune system in immature piglets, the respiratory tract is susceptible to invasion by numerous pathogens that cause a range of potential respiratory diseases.

Isolation of Separate Ureaplasma Species From Endotracheal Secretions of Twin Patients [PDF]

Pediatrics, 2016
Isolation of Ureaplasma spp. from preterm neonates and the association with development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia has been previously investigated. However, few studies have contrasted the nature of infection in twins. In this article, we report that dizygotic twins (1 girl, 1 boy) born at 24 weeks gestation both yielded culturable Ureaplasma from ...

Organ‐Specific Human Microbiomes and Dysbiosis: Mechanistic Links to Disease and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the human microbiome and major microbiota‐derived metabolites across body sites, highlighting the gut–brain, gut–heart, and gut–kidney axes in host physiology and disease. ABSTRACT Background The human microbiome is a dynamic and diverse community of microorganisms that affects susceptibility to illness and promotes wellness ...

Outcomes of a Routine Screening Protocol to Prevent Metamycoplasma and Ureaplasma Infection in Lung Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
This study analyzed outcomes of an early Mollicute (Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma spp.) screening protocol using BAL PCR with preemptive treatment and ammonia monitoring in lung transplant recipients. This appears to be a practical and reasonably effective approach for preventing early Mollicute infection and hyperammonemia syndrome.

Synthesis of Lipids from Acetate Is Not Characteristic of Acholeplasma or Ureaplasma Species [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1984
Previous studies of Acholeplasma species indicated that this genus could be separated from Mycoplasma on the basis of the ability to synthesize lipids from acetate. We report that recently described strains of Acholeplasma florum (strain L1 isolated from a lemon flower and strain GF-1 isolated from a grapefruit flower) and two unclassified Acholeplasma
