Sažetak
Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis are common commensals of the lower genitourinary tract. They are causally linked to prostatitis, epydidimitis, urethral syndrome, cervicitis, urolythiasis, reactive arthritis, infertility, complications during pregnancy and serious infections in newborns and immunocompromised hosts.1 Therefore, the therapeutic use of antimicrobials and susceptibility testing is necessary because it allows adequate treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility of U urealyticum and M hominis to tetracycline, erythromycin, clindamycin, doxycycline, ofloxacin and azithromycin.
