  • Title: Mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas in infertility and abortion.
    Author: Friberg J.
    Journal: Fertil Steril; 1980 Apr; 33(4):351-9. PubMed ID: 7364067.
    Abstract:
    4 figures and 3 tables form the core of this review article covering nonbacterial etiological factors of infertility. Specifically, literature on Ureaplasma urealyticum is reviewed. In general, authors present a widely devisive picture of the possible role of ureaplasmas in unexplained infertility. Ureaplasmas have been visualized on spermatozoa and within cervical mucus, and a high success rate (27%) of antibiotic treatment following a positive ureaplasma culture would implicate a role for this large-colony organism in human infertility; however, other authors contend that the multifactorality of the infertility precludes assigning any etiological importance to mycoplasmas and ureaplasma in infertility.
