Identification of Ureaplasma parvum as a Cause of Culture-Negative Septic Monoarthitis Using 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing

AbstractUreaplasma species primarily colonize in the human genitourinary tract and are a cause of nongonococcal urethritis. Rare cases of septic arthritis caused by these organisms have been reported in immunocompromised hosts; however, their pathogenic activity in hosts with competent immune status
