Phylogeny-Based Rapid Identification of Mycoplasmas and Ureaplasmas from Urethritis Patients
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Some strains of mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas (family Mycoplasmataceae) are associated with nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) or other genitourinary infections. We have developed a rapid and reliable method of identifying the presence and prevalence of mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas in men with NGU. This method is based on the amplification of a part of the 16S rRNA gene by PCR and phylogenetic analysis. A portion of the...
