	eMedicine - Ureaplasma Infection : Article by Ken B Waites, MD
		Ureaplasma organisms have been recovered from an epididymal aspirate from a patient with acute epididymoorchitis, and these organisms may be an infrequent cause of the disease.
		Ureaplasma species have been isolated from cervicovaginal specimens in 40-80% of women who are asymptomatic and sexually active, and M hominis has been isolated from cervicovaginal specimens in 21-53% of women who are asymptomatic and sexually active.
		Erythromycin or tetracyclines are the DOCs for Ureaplasma infections.

		Ureaplasma urealyticum is a ((microbiology) single-celled or noncellular spherical or spiral or rod-shaped organisms lacking chlorophyll that reproduce by fission; important as pathogens and for biochemical properties; taxonomy is difficult; often considered plants) bacterium belonging to the family (Pleomorphic gram-negative nonmotile microorganism similar to both viruses and bacteria; parasitic in mammals) Mycoplasmataceae.
		There are six recognised Ureaplasma species, They have a G+C content of 27 - 30 (The molecular weight of a substance expressed in grams; the basic unit of amount of substance adopted under the Systeme International d'Unites) mol%, and a genome size ranging between 0.76 - 1.17 Gbp, and cholesterol is required for growth.
		A defining characteristic of the genera is that they perform (The chief solid component of mammalian urine; synthesized from ammonia and carbon dioxide and used as fertilizer and in animal feed and in plastics) urea hydrolysis.
