Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma species are small bacteria that can colonise the genital tract. Mycoplasma genitalium has been increasingly recognised as a significant sexually transmitted pathogen associated with urethritis in men and cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease in women. Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum are commonly found in the genital tract and may be associated with urethritis and reproductive complications in some individuals. Testing is performed using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), which detect the DNA of these organisms. Antibiotic resistance testing for Mycoplasma genitalium is recommended by the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) to guide appropriate treatment.
