Mycoplasma hominis infection
INFECTION WITH A PREDOMINANTLY SEXUAL MODE OF TRANSMISSION
Mycoplasm hominis infection
The exact role of Mycoplasma hominis (and to a lesser extent Ureaplasma) in regards to a number of conditions related to pregnant women and their (unborn) offspring is controversial. This is mainly because many healthy adults have genitourinary colonization with Mycoplasma, published studies on pathogenicity have important design limitations and the organisms are very difficult to detect.
