The presence of Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, and Chlamydia trachomatis was explored in 50 public restroom toilet bowls. We used culture, antigen detection, polymerase chain reaction, and survival assay. Five bowls (10%) were contaminated with at least one organism. U. urealyticum was found in four bowls, M. hominis in three, and C. trachomatis in one. U. urealyticum survived on the toilet rim for up to 2 hours.
在50个公共卫生间的马桶中检测了解脲脲原体、人型支原体和沙眼衣原体的存在情况。我们采用了培养、抗原检测、聚合酶链反应和存活试验。五个马桶（10%）被至少一种微生物污染。在四个马桶中发现了解脲脲原体，三个中发现了人型支原体，一个中发现了沙眼衣原体。解脲脲原体在马桶边缘存活长达2小时。
