To review the literature on the role of oral sex in the transmission of non-viral sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
A Medline search was performed using the keywords oro-genital sex, and those specific to each infection. Further references were then taken from each article read.
Oral sex is a common sexual practice between both heterosexual and homosexual couples. Oro-genital sex is implicated as a route of transmission for gonorrhoea, syphilis, Chlamydia trachomatis, chancroid, and Neisseria meningitidis. Other respiratory organisms such as streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae could also be transmitted by this route. Fellatio confers risk for acquisition of infection by the oral partner. Cunnilingus appears to predispose to recurrent vaginal candidiasis although the mechanism for this is unclear, while a link between oro-genital sex and bacterial vaginosis is currently being studied. Oro-anal sex is implicated in the transmission of various enteric infections. In view of the increased practice of oral sex this has become a more important potential route of transmission for oral, respiratory, and genital pathogens.
回顾关于口交在非病毒性传播感染（STIs）传播中作用的文献。
使用关键词“口交”以及每种感染的特定关键词进行Medline检索。然后从阅读的每篇文章中获取更多参考文献。
口交是异性恋和同性恋伴侣中常见的性行为。口交被认为是淋病、梅毒、沙眼衣原体、软下疳和脑膜炎奈瑟菌的传播途径。其他呼吸道病原体如链球菌、流感嗜血杆菌和肺炎支原体也可通过此途径传播。口交使口交者有感染风险。口交似乎易引发复发性阴道念珠菌病，尽管其机制尚不清楚，而口交与细菌性阴道病之间的联系目前正在研究中。口交被认为与各种肠道感染的传播有关。鉴于口交行为的增加，这已成为口腔、呼吸道和生殖病原体更重要的潜在传播途径。
