title: [Isolation of mycoplasmas from female genitalia].
abstract: The author tested ways of collection, transport and storage of material for mycoplasmatological examination. The use of tampons on a stick during transport in urea substrate medium proved useful. The site of maximum occurrence of mycoplasmas was the posterior vaginal vault. On examination of the vaginal secretion of 804 women Mycoplasma hominis was isolated in 29.6% and Ureaplasma urealyticum in 65.2% of the cases. Concurrent isolation of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealyticum was recorded in 22.1% of the women. The results of the examination do not suggest the participation of mycoplasmas in the development of aminocolpitis. In pregnant women there is a greater probability of colonization of the vagina by U. urealyticum.
