Abstract:
Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of Mycoplasma isolates from male genitourinary tract infection for rational use of antibiotics to treat Mycoplasma infections.Methods Isolates were detected using Mycoplasma IES Test Kit supplied by Yeoman Biotech (Zhuhai) Co.Ltd.Results A total of 698 strains (30.5%) of Mycoplasma was de- tected from 2 287 samples, 563 (80.7%) of which were Ureaplasma urealyticum, 26(3.7%)were Mycoplasma hominis. Both U.urea lyticum and M.hominis were identified in 109 (15.6%) specimens.U.urealyticum isolates were most suscepti- ble to josamycin, while all M.hominis isolates were susceptible to doxycyeline and minocycline, but resistant to erythromycin, roxithromycin and clarithromycin.Conclusions The best choice to treat Mycoplasma infections is josamycin, doxycycline and minocycline.The different strains of mycoplasrna may have variable susceptibility to the same kind of antibiotic.Active cul- ture, identification, and susceptibility testing of mycoplasma can provide useful data for rational use of antibiotics.
