They are mostly detected in sexually active persons. Only few of mycoplasmatic species are unquestionable etiological factors of different human infections. They cause illness of respiratory system and kidneys. They are frequently connected with nongonococcal urethritis, epididymitis, prostatitis as well as female pelvic inflammatory disease. Mycoplasmas as etiological factors of genital organ infections have been kept in background of other pathogens for a long time. Recently, the connection between mycoplasmatic infections and marital infertility has been noticed more often.
