Urethral infection of male monkeys by Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum.
Seven male Macaca nemestrina, eight male Macaca mulatta and three male Papio hamadrias were infected with M. hominis or U. urealyticum separately or simultaneously into the urethra. Animals of the first two species exhibited moderate infection and mild clinical urethritis characterized by increased number of PMNL in the urethral discharge and colonization and lymphocytic infiltration of the mucous membrane of the urethra and urinary bladder. Animals of the third species proved to be less sensitive.
