A twelve–year retrospective analysis of prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Ureaplasma spp. and Mycoplasma hominis in the province of Lower Silesia in Poland

Genital mycoplasmas are opportunistic pathogens that have been associated with urogenital infections in humans. Only a few groups of antimicrobials are available for treatment of urogenital tract infections caused by genital mycoplasmas. However, emerging resistance of mycoplasmas to antimicrobial agents has been reported worldwide. The aim of the study was a retrospective analysis of the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of M. hominis and Ureaplasma spp. in patients with urogenital tract infections during a twelve-year period between 2003 and 2015.
