Microbiological diagnosis of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis in women with urogenital infections

This bachelor's thesis is focused on the diagnosis of bacteria Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis in women with urogenital infections. The theoretical part of the work deals with urogenital infections, such as urinary tract infections, reproductive tract infections system of women and their most common bacterial agents. The issue is described in the next section Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis. The methodology and goals of the thesis included laboratory evidence of mycoplasmas, as well as evidence of sensitivity to antibiotics by using some kits. Another task was laboratory processing of swabs from the vagina. Furthermore, the statistical evaluation of the results of patients in Unilabs k.s. laboratory. Statistical evaluation led to the detection of common presence of Ureaplasmas and Mycoplasmas with some other microorganisms inhabiting the fiale urogenital tract. For the statistical part, I used the results of the patients for the period 1/1/2019 - 12/31/2022. I had a total of 859 results available. Based on them, I found out that the largest number of positive findings predominates Ureaplasma urealyticum, followed by a mixed infection of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis to a lesser extent. Only in small number have been found positive Mycoplasma hominis. Among the associated microorganisms, the most frequent occurrence of lactobacilli was associated with Ureaplasma urealyticum positivity. Gardnerella vaginalis was found in all positivities with mycoplasmas, the highest in Ureaplasma urealyticum. Furthermore, Streptococcus anginosus and Candida albicans are represented to a similar extent, again to the greatest extent represented in the case of Ureaplasma urealyticum positivity. Other microorganisms were represented to a lesser extent and are described in more detail in the results of the thesis
