Vaginal microbiota of pregnant women with Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis infections
This study suggests that STD-PCR may be more accurate than <i>Ureaplasma</i>/<i>Mycoplasma</i> culture for the diagnosis of <i>Mycoplasma hominis</i> and <i>Ureaplasma urealyticum</i> infection. Also, the presence of <i>Gardnerella species</i> I and <i>Fannyhessea vaginae</i> implies their potential influences on <i>Ureaplasma urealyticum</i> and <i>Mycoplasma hominis</i> infections based on results of vaginal microbial community analysis. Therefore, vaginal microbial community analysis may give the more information of their pathophysiology.
