Mycoplasma hominis profile in women: Culture, kit, molecular diagnosis, antimicrobial resistance, and treatment

ConclusionsThe rate of M. hominis detection was significantly higher in the vaginal samples compared to the urine samples. The probability of detecting M. hominis by IST–2 kit was 1.18 times less than IES kit (p < 0.001). When the relationship between the samples was examined, the difference between IES and IST–2 for detecting M. hominis was statistically significant (p < 0.01). Antibiotic susceptibility tests indicated that the tetracycline group of antibiotics was effective in eliminating M. hominis when given to both the sexual partners.
