Ureaplasma urealyticum und Mycoplasma hominis are frequently isolated from the urogenital tract of sexually active persons. Their pathogenetic role in urogenital infections and infertility are still controversial. U. urealyticum can cause urethritis and most likely also chronic prostatitis. M. hominis can cause cystitis, salpingitis, and postpartal fever in women and meningitis in newborns. M. genitalium was recently isolated from patients with urethritis and salpingitis. The diagnosis is made by the cultivation of mycoplasmas in high concentrations and rising antibody titers in the serum. As in chlamydial infections, the therapy of first choice is tetracyclin. M. hominis can also be treated with clindamycin, U. urealyticum with erythromycin.
