Order Mycoplasma Hominis and Ureaplasma lab testMycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum are two distinct bacteria that can colonize the human urogenital tract. Though often grouped together in laboratory panels, they differ in their clinical behavior and in how frequently they cause symptomatic disease. Testing for both is typically performed when a person has urinary or genital symptoms that resemble chlamydia but have not been explained by more common infections.
About Mycoplasma Hominis and Ureaplasma lab test in Salem
This panel detects the presence of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum, two bacterial species that can inhabit the lower genital tract.
Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum lack a cell wall, which means they do not respond to antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis, such as penicillins. They are transmitted through sexual contact and can also be passed from mother to newborn during delivery.
In many people, these organisms are present without causing any symptoms. When they do cause disease, the resulting conditions can include urethritis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease in women, as well as epididymitis in men. Because the symptoms overlap with those of chlamydia and gonorrhea, laboratory testing is necessary to identify the actual cause.
Detection is usually performed using nucleic acid amplification testing on a urine sample or a swab, depending on the site of suspected infection. Identifying the specific organism helps guide treatment decisions, since the two species can have different susceptibility patterns.
