Mycoplasma deiuriae is a common mycoplasma of reproductive tract infections that colonizes the mucosal epithelium of the urethra and reproductive tract. For adults, the predominant route of infection is direct sexual contact. In addition to direct sexual contact, Mycoplasma urealyticum can be transmitted through indirect contact with contaminated clothing infected with the mycoplasma.
For fetuses, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae can be transmitted vertically, causing preterm labor, miscarriage, intrauterine growth retardation, and premature rupture of membranes. In neonates, Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection is mainly spread by passing through the infected mother’s genital tract during delivery, causing neonatal mycoplasma pneumonia and so on.
