Objective The purpose of the observation was to prove whether there exists an infection with Mycoplasma genitalium(Mg) in clinical specimens from the ant patients by using the method of cell culture and the medium culture in Tianjin. Method The clinical specimens taken from STD clinic patients by sterilized swab were cultured in SP 4 medium and Vero cell,respectively.The clinical strains whose characteristic features met the criteria for Mg were identified with meta~bolize inhibition tests,PCR and so on.Result By the medium culture,there were 2 strains isolated from 79 clinical specimens with an isolation rate being 2.53%.By the cell culture,there were 5 strains isolated from 80 clinical specimens with an isolation rate being 6.25%.No significant difference was found between the results by the two methods ( χ 2 =0.57,0.25< P < 0.5 ).Conclusion The existence of Mg infection was proved pathogemically in Tianjin. |
