Emergent Resistance in Genital Mycoplasmas: 6-Year Trends in Ureaplasma spp. and Mycoplasma hominis in Eastern China
Overview Genital mycoplasmas, including Ureaplasma species and Mycoplasma hominis, are common culprits behind genitourinary infections. A six-year investigation involving a large cohort of patients across gynecology, obstetrics, urology, and reproductive health centers in Eastern China offers a detailed look at how antimicrobial resistance in these organisms is evolving, and what this means for clinicians and…

Emerging Resistance in Genital Mycoplasmas: Six-Year Trends of Ureaplasma spp. and Mycoplasma hominis Infections in Eastern China
Introduction: The rising challenge of genital mycoplasma resistance Genital mycoplasmas, including Ureaplasma spp. and Mycoplasma hominis, are among the most common culprits of genitourinary infections worldwide. Recent six-year surveillance in Eastern China highlights a worrying rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among these pathogens, complicating treatment, increasing recurrence, and impacting reproductive health outcomes. This article synthesizes…

Emerging Resistance in Genital Mycoplasmas: Six-Year Trends of Ureaplasma spp. and Mycoplasma hominis in Eastern China
Overview Genital mycoplasmas, particularly Ureaplasma species (spp.) and Mycoplasma hominis, are common culprits in genitourinary infections. A large multicenter study conducted in Eastern China analyzed six years of data from 47,619 patients with suspected genitourinary tract infections. The goal was to map infection rates and resistance patterns, revealing troubling shifts in antimicrobial susceptibility that have…
