Microbiologic profile of mycoplasmas' among pregnant women

Objectives: We aimed to identify genital mycoplasmas which aren? t routinely carried out but they may be relatively associated with several genital tract diseases. We studied their etiology in symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant women. We underlined their clinical importance and showed teir clinical implicance. Morover, performing antimicrobial susceptibility of such microorganisms may guide us to proper ampirical therapy. Material and Method: The cervical samples were analysed by using ?Mycoplasma Ist-2? kit and A7 agar medium. Antibiotic susceptibility was tested by using ? Mycoplasma Ist-2? kit. Results: In six women M. hominis (%6), in twenty- nine women U. urealyticum (%29) were successfully cultured. In positive cultures, values of %17.1 were belonged to M. hominis and %82.8 to U.urealyticum respectively. There is no resistance to doxycycline, tetracyline and pristinamycin. A hundred pregnant women were examined, of these fifteen had spontanously abortion with in twelve were in patient group, three were in control group. Conclusions: Genital colonization with M. hominis and U. urealyticum is most probably associated with spontaneous abortion. Since studied individuals of both control and patient groups consist of married women with one sexual partner (single husband), prevalence of these microorganisms in our country was varied significantly from that of foreing countries . Doxycycline and pristinamycin may be used in ampirical treatment of infected women. Key words: Mycoplasma, Pregnancy, Urogenital infection, Bacteriology
