Use of the Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of Mycoplasma fermentons and Mycoplasma genitalium in the Urogenital Tract and Amniotic Fluid

Abstract excerpt

In an attempt to further define the natural history of Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma fermentans infections in humans, we used cultures and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determine whether these organisms were present in the urethra and cervix of sexually active adults and in the amniotic fluid of women whose membranes were intact and collected at the time of cesarean delivery (to preclude cervical...
