Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for urogenital infections, often minimally symptomatic, revealed by their complications. Mycoplasmas, mainly Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis, are normal commensal organisms of the genital tract, which sometimes makes it difficult to determine their pathogenicity. However, they are responsible for urogenital infections, and U. urealyticum is a pathogen in male urethris. The laboratory diagnosis is based on specific techniques adapted to these microorganisms. In the case of C. trachomatis, it has benefited from the recent progress in molecular biology techniques. The therapeutic approach is common to both types of organisms: tetracyclines and macrolides are the major antibiotics used in the treatment of these urogenital infections.
沙眼衣原体可引起泌尿生殖系统感染，通常症状轻微，常由其并发症得以发现。支原体，主要是解脲脲原体和人型支原体，是生殖道的正常共生菌，这有时使得确定它们的致病性变得困难。然而，它们可引起泌尿生殖系统感染，且解脲脲原体是男性尿道炎的病原体。实验室诊断基于适用于这些微生物的特定技术。对于沙眼衣原体，它受益于分子生物学技术的最新进展。这两类病原体的治疗方法相同：四环素类和大环内酯类是治疗这些泌尿生殖系统感染的主要抗生素。
