ABSTRACT
Aim:
To study antimicrobial susceptibilities of genital mycoplasmas recovered from endocervical samples of reproductive-age, nonpregnant women (n = 8,336). Materials &methods:
For isolation and susceptibility testing, the Mycoplasma IST2 kit was used.Results:
As many as 2093 samples were positive for mycoplasmas. The vast majority (>96%) of Ureaplasma urealyticum remained susceptible to tetracycline, doxycycline, josamycin and pristinamycin, whereas susceptibility rates to azithromycin and fluoroquinolones were significantly decreased. Mycoplasma hominis exhibited high susceptibility rates to doxycycline, pristinamycin and josamycin (98.1-100%), while susceptibilities to tetracycline and fluoroquinolones were considerably lower.Conclusion:
Doxycycline remained highly potent for treating mycoplasmas; nevertheless, susceptibilities to other antimicrobials were significantly diminished.
