[Detection of Mycoplasma hominis in Trichomonas vaginalis by PCR].
Twelve of 28 isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis collected from patients in hospitals in Guangzhou were found naturally infected with Mycoplasma hominis by PCR using specific primers. It suggests that the symbiosis of M. hominis in T. vaginalis also commonly occurs in China.
