M. genitalium was detected in bothgenital and pharyngeal samples in 10.8% (7/65) ofpatients, and M. penetrans in 4.6% (3/65) of patients. M.pirum was found in only 2 cases, and no M. fermentanswas discovered.Conclusions: This study suggests that M. genitaliumand M. penetrans infections are common in patients withNGU/MPC. M. genitalium and M. penetrans may be trans-mitted by genital-genital or oral-genital sex, and maycause urethritis and cervicitis.展开更多

Methods： Retrospective analysis of 878 nongonococcal urethritis / cervicitis cases which received regular treatment and follow-up in our institute from 1st Jan. 2001 to 31st Aug. 2003. Results： The mean cure rate of six methods for Chlamydia trachamatis （Ct） was 57.116%. There were distinct differences among these methods for Ct treatment.The mean cure rate of six methods for Ureaplasma urealyticum （Uu） was 69.556% and there was no difference among these methods for Uu treatment. Coinfection with Ct and Uu dramatically reduced the elimination rate of these two pathogens. Conclusion： The effectiveness of treatment of these antibodies for non-gonococcal urethritis / cervicitis is not currently satisfactory. Importantly, there were many antibiotic-resistant Ct and Uu strains. The factors influencing antibiotic efficacy and mechanisms need further study.展开更多
