RESUMO
One hundred duplicate endocervical specimens from obstetrical and gynecological patients were cultured for Mycoplasma spp. and Ureaplasma urealyticum. Rates of recovery of these organisms from commercially prepared A7 medium and the Mycotrim-GU system were compared. We detected 14 (93%) of the total 15 isolates of Mycoplasma spp. on A7 plates and 11 (73%) in the Mycotrim-GU system. We detected 34 (89%) of the total 38 isolates of U. urealyticum on A7 plates and 32 (84%) in the Mycotrim-GU system. The times of detection for both types of organism were similar in the two systems. We conclude that cultivation on A7 medium as described is a more cost-effective method of recovery of Mycoplasma spp. and U. urealyticum than the Mycotrim-GU system.
