Prevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Mycoplasma hominis and <i>Ureaplasma</i> Species in Nonpregnant Female Patients in South Korea Indicate an Increasing Trend of Pristinamycin-Resistant Isolates
Ji‐Yong Lee, Jeong Seon Yang
Abstract
Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma species, commonly found in the lower urogenital tract, have been associated with various urogenital infections. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility trend of M. hominis and Ureaplasma sp. in female patients and to evaluate the risk factors for the acquisition of pristinamycin-resistant mycoplasma. Endocervical swab specimens obtained between March 2016 and December 2018 were analyzed using a Mycoplasma IST2 kit.
