When we occasionally hear the name Mycoplasma hominis, we may feel very unfamiliar. In fact, Mycoplasma hominis is a microorganism, and if the human body is infected with this microorganism, it can cause a series of discomforts. If left untreated, it can also cause a lot of harm to the body. Therefore, patients with relevant symptoms should be checked in a timely manner. Is it normal to be negative for Mycoplasma hominis?
Is it normal to be negative for Mycoplasma hominis
It is normal for Mycoplasma hominis to be negative. Mycoplasma hominis (MH) is a type of mycoplasma that exists in the urinary and reproductive systems. It can cause infections in the urinary system and inflammation in the reproductive organs. If you are concerned, you can come to the hospital for relevant tests to determine if there is an infection.
No cell wall or precursor, very few organelles. The G+C content of DNA is low, and the bacterial cell has a very small chromosome set with a molecular weight of about 45 × 108. The cell size of the bacterial cell is about 0.2-0.3 μ m, rarely exceeding 1.0 μ m. A membrane like structure composed of three layers of proteins and lipids, as well as a hair like structure. Mycoplasma reproduces through binary division and has diverse forms. Mycoplasma is difficult to stain using ordinary staining methods, and it is very light when stained with Giemsa. Gram staining is negative.
Mycoplasma hominis can grow on the trophoblast membrane of chicken embryos or in cell culture. Cultivate with culture medium. Nutritional requirements are higher than bacteria. Due to its lack of cell wall, it is insensitive to antibiotics that affect cell wall synthesis, and can inhibit or affect the protein synthesis of mycoplasma. Especially, the cleaning solution containing PHMB bactericidal ingredients has a killing effect on mycoplasma. Mycoplasma has poor resistance to heat and can usually be inactivated after 15 minutes of treatment at 55 ℃. Shi carbonic acid, Lai Su Er Yi can kill it. Adding urea to the culture medium and using manganese sulfate as an indicator can easily distinguish it from other mycoplasma.
What are the hazards of Mycoplasma hominis infection
Mycoplasma is a special type of non gonococcal urethritis, which is a microorganism. The clinical manifestations of mycoplasma infection include: yellow urine, slightly red urethral opening, frequent urination, incomplete urination, urethral pain, burning sensation, and other symptoms. Mycoplasma hominis is characterized by the need for steroid substances for growth. The colony of Mycoplasma hominis is relatively large, with a diameter of 300-1000 microns, and typical colonies have the appearance of "fried eggs".
Long term or repeated infections of Chlamydia and Mycoplasma can damage the endometrial layer in the cervix and fallopian tubes, leading to infertility. Chlamydia and Mycoplasma infections are mostly transmitted through sexual intercourse, and to prevent repeated infections caused by mutual transmission, it is necessary to treat sexual partners simultaneously.
After infection with Mycoplasma hominis, patients may experience various discomfort symptoms. A negative test result for Mycoplasma hominis indicates that the patient has not actually been infected with this microorganism, which is something to be happy about. And in daily life, we should also pay attention to the prevention of this disease, so as to stay away from the harm it brings to our body.
