Comparison of culture and real-time polymerase chain reaction methods for detection of Mycoplasma hominis in amniotic fluids samples

Conclusion: Rapid detection of Mycoplasmas causing maternal complications such as neonatal infections and preterm labor in pregnancy by real-time PCR may be important and necessary. The high sensitivity and shorter time requirement of real-time PCR support its further development for diagnosis of Mycoplasma infections.
