Ureaplasma urealyticum colonizes in the urinary tract and genital organs, such as the urethra, vagina, cervix, prostate gland and epididymides. The infection is often asymptomatic. U. urealyticum causes inflammation of the amniotic membranes, which can lead to miscarriage or premature delivery. Occasionally, respiratory infection and meningitis can occur in newborns, especially in underweight infants. 40-80% of women and 5-20% of men of active sexual age develop lower genital infections. The cause of the infection is sexual contact, and in more than 50% of cases the infection also occurs during childbirth.
Mycoplasma hominis causes urethritis, cervicitis and vaginitis. Sometimes it causes mild bacteremia (e.g. after childbirth, miscarriage,gynecological surgery) and wound infection (e.g. after cesarean section),fallopian tube inflammation,amniotic inflammation and neonatal infection.
The bacterium is transmitted initially through the genital organs.
