“…However, studies in other countries showed that the incidence of M. hominis and U. urealyticum was relatively higher (6,16). Since M. hominis and U. urealyticum have been found significantly associated with low socioeconomic background, the lower incidence in the current study is not surprising, considering the low number of sexual partners among Iranians, limitations in sexual relationships for non-married people and public awareness on using contraceptive drugs (17,18).…”

Background: Infections due to Mycoplasmatales members can cause infertility, preterm delivery and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, rapid diagnosis is of great importance to control these infections and diminish their outcomes. Objectives: The current study aimed to develop the multiplex PCR assay to detect two genital mollicutes from a single amplification reaction and the study of their relation with habitual abortion and urogenital infection in infected females. Materials and Methods: Urine and genital samples from symptomatic females (20-54 years old) in Imam Khomeini hospital, Ahvaz, Iran, were screened for the two common mollicutes, Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum; using multiplex PCR. The prevalence of these mollicutes in 200 healthy females was also evaluated. Results:The results of the current study showed that the presence of M. hominis in urine (P = 0.006) and genital samples (P = 0.01) was associated with urogenital infections. Statistical analysis based on the age, revealed that the highest prevalence of M. hominis (71.4%) and U. urealyticum (60%) were in females within 30-34 and 35-39 years old, respectively. Similarly, in genital samples, the highest incidence of M. hominis (54.5%) and U. urealyticum (53.8%) was found in females within 28-33 and 34-39 years old. Interestingly, further analyses revealed direct strong relation between the mollicutes used in this study and habitual abortion as well as urogenital infections. Conclusions: There was a strong relation between the presence of the studied M. hominis and U. urealyticum with urogenital infection in the females under study in comparison with those of control groups. The studied mollicutes were highly associated with habitual abortion in symptomatic females. The multiplex PCR was developed for simultaneous, early, and easy detection of these potential pathogens.

“…Both organisms have been associated with increased risk of recurrent pregnancy losses [8,9], genitourinary tract infections which include pyelonephritis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), chorioamnionitis, postpartum and postabortal fever [10][11][12][13]. Whether these organisms cause involuntary infertility through fertilization or implantation impairment remains speculative.…”

Purpose To determine the prevalence of positive test for Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), Mycoplasma hominis (MH), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections, and their corresponding Rubella status when undergoing workup for infertility. Methods Retrospective chart review to determine infection status for UU, MH, CT, and NG as determined by cervical swab, as well as the serum Rubella antibody titer. Results A total of 46 patients of the patients reviewed were positive for UU (20.1%), three patients were positive for MH (1.3%), five patients were positive for CT (2.2%) and one patient was positive for NG (0.4%). Rubella immunity was confirmed in 90.3% of patients. Conclusion Approximately one quarter of women presenting to an infertility clinic seeking to conceive were found to have a positive test for UU, MH, CT or NG infection. Additionally, almost 10% of the patients were Rubella nonimmune at the time of presentation for infertility evaluation.
