Ureaplasma

The nongonococcal urethritis and cervicitis due to Chlamydia are sexually transmitted diseases usually caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or, in men, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and sometimes by Trichomonas vaginalis or herpes simplex virus.
These infections are termed "non-gonococcal" to indicate they are not caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium that causes gonorrhea (gonorrhea).
Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for approximately 50% of urethral infections in men caused by gonorrhea and not by the majority of pyogenic infections of the cervix not caused by gonorrhea.
Most cases of other urethritis is caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum, similar to mycoplasma bacteria. Chlamydiae are small bacteria that can only reproduce within the cells. The ureaplasmas are very small bacteria that lack a rigid cell wall, but can reproduce out of cells.
Treatment
Generally, Chlamydia and Ureaplasma are treated with tetracycline or doxycycline orally for at least 7 days, or with a single dose of azithromycin.
Pregnant women should not take tetracycline. In approximately 20% of subjects, infection recurs after the treatment.
In these cases, treatment is repeated for a longer period.
Infected people who have sex before the end of the treatment can infect their partners.
Thus, where possible, sexual partners should be treated simultaneously.
Prevention
Condoms, simultaneous treatment of (a) partner (a).
