Ureaplasma urealyticum is a causative agent of non-gonococcal urethritis and is implicated in the pathogenesis of several other diseases. However, U. urealyticum is also frequently found in the normal genitourinary tract. To characterize the distribution pattern of biovars and genotypes in normal physical check-up women and in sex workers, cervical swabs taken from 261 physical check-up clients and 98 sex workers were cultured. Positive cultures were further biotyped and genotyped by PCR. The data indicate that a) U. urealyticum is more frequently isolated in sex workers than in physical check-up women (p < 0.001)Downloads
