Ureaplasmaspp. are frequently isolated from the genital tract of women of reproductive age. To date, it remains unclear whether they are commensal or pathogenic. In our study, we assessed the prevalence of Ureaplasmaspp. in a group of 1,155 women of childbearing age. In addition, we assessed how often women with positive Ureaplasmaspp. develop genital tract co-infections and how the vaginal pH changes. This study showed a relationship between colonization by Ureaplasmaspp. and presenting symptoms. In fact, we showed that colonization of the genital tract by Ureaplasmaspp. can affect the occurrence of co-infections such as Gardnerella vaginalis. We also observed a relationship between increased pH values and the presence of Ureaplasmaspp. |
