Abstract

Mycoplasma hominis is a bacteria that colonizes and infects the genitourinary tract; extragenital infections are not common. Three surgical site infections because of M hominis in immunocompetent adult trauma patients were detected at our facility in a 6-month time period. We investigated this case series and hypothesize transmission based on common exposures.

摘要

人型支原体是一种定植和感染泌尿生殖系统的细菌；外阴部感染并不常见。在我们机构的 6 个月时间内，检测到 3 例免疫功能正常的成年创伤患者因 M 人型支原体引起的手术部位感染。我们对这一系列病例进行了调查，并根据常见的暴露情况假设了传播途径。
