ABSTRACT

PCR was compared with culture for the detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum in 50 specimens, including sperm, urine, and prostate secretions, from hospital patients with urogenital infections. Five positive and a further four doubtful diagnoses were made by culture, whereas PCR detected U. urealyticum in 12 samples. PCR also was faster than culturing. The increased sensitivity and shorter time requirement of PCR support its further development for the diagnosis of U. urealyticum infection.
