Clinical significance of asymptomatic urogenital Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum in relation to seminal fluid parameters among infertile Jordanian males

A Study on Infertility of Males Infected with <i>Mycoplasma hominis</i> with Reference to Sperm Morphology

“…However, the same conclusion was almost seen by Znazen et al [4]. Furthermore, some studies suggested that mycoplasmas have only a marginal role, whereas others showed a primary role of these microbes on sperm morphology and function [32] [33] [34] [35]. Some investigators did not show any significant correlation between M. hominis infection and semen quality [36] [37].…”

Colorimetric‐based detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum using gold nanoparticles

“…The average global prevalence of this pathogen in people with infertility, adverse pregnancy outcomes and urinary tract infections is estimated to be 30–50% [13]. The significant clinical importance of this microorganism combined with its potential for asymptomatic genitourinary system colonisation makes its timely and sensitive diagnosis an urgent concern [14].…”

Sequences of Mycoplasma hominis in Patients with Urinary Tract Infection in a Hospital in Kashan, Iran

“…Mycoplasma hominis is generally a genitourinary (GU) pathogen (Henao-Martinez et al, 2012). Mycoplasma are the smallest-living, atypical bacteria that possess a very small genome and are characterized by their strict dependence on the host for their nutrients (Al-Daghistani and Abdel-Dayem, 2010). The genome of this bacterium is composed of 580,000 base pairs and contains 482 genes (Larsen and Hwang, 2010).…”

“…The importance of mycoplasmas is obscured by the presence of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasmaurea lyticum in many asymptomatic persons from whom these bacteria could be isolated. The prevalence of Mycoplasma infectious has been reported to vary from 10-40% in the male seminal fluid and has been shown to have a role in varicose infertile men with higher rate of as then ozoospermia (Al-Daghistani and Abdel-Dayem, 2010). Mycoplasmas have been associated with various pathological conditions and intrauterine infections, including pyelonephritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, chorioamnionitis, endometritis and postpartum fever, leading to significant complications, such as; preterm birth, low birth, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, premature birth, infertility and perinatal mortality (Bayraktar et al, 2010).…”

“…They are most commonly present in the genital tract of sexually active women (Bayraktar et al, 2010). However, generations of subclinical genital infection or nongonococcal urethritis have been detected in 25% of infertile men (Al-Daghistani and Abdel-Dayem, 2010). The Mycoplasma hominis colonization values range between 20 and 30% around the world (Bayraktar et al, 2010).…”
