Doctor's answer:
Hello, finding the right method for treating Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in women doesn't actually take a long time. Ureaplasma urealyticum is the only species in the genus Ureaplasma, named after its growth requirement for urea. Colonies are very small, with a diameter of only 15-25 um, and must be observed under a low-power microscope, hence the old name "T strain." The colony surface has rough granules and can transform into a typical "egg yolk-like" colony under suitable conditions. Growth requires cholesterol and urea, with urea hydrolysis being its metabolic characteristic, producing ammonia nitrogen that raises the pH of the medium. Patients often have a fishy odor.
