Ureaplasma urealyticum

Ureaplasma urealyticum is one of the common pathogens of genitourinary tract infections, which are usually surface infections, and most do not invade the blood. The pathogenic mechanism is not very clear, and it is currently thought that it may be related to invasive enzymes and toxic products. Ureaplasma urealyticum can cause urinary system infection and infertility under certain conditions. The most common disease caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum is non-gonococcal urethritis, accounting for 60% of non-bacterial urethritis. Ureaplasma urealyticum is mostly parasitic in the male urethra, penis foreskin and female vagina. If the ascending infection can cause male prostatitis or epididymitis, female vaginitis, cervicitis, and can infect the fetus, cause abortion, premature birth and low-weight fetus, and can also cause neonatal respiratory and central nervous system infection.
