Tetracycline Resistance in <i>Ureaplasma</i> spp. and <i>Mycoplasma hominis</i> : Prevalence in Bordeaux, France, from 1999 to 2002 and Description of Two <i>tet</i> (M)-Positive Isolates of <i>M. hominis</i> Susceptible to Tetracyclines

Abstract

ABSTRACT Twenty-four of 128 clinical isolates of Mycoplasma hominis and 6 of 276 clinical isolates of Ureaplasma spp. from Bordeaux, France (1999 to 2002), were resistant to tetracycline and harbored the tet (M) gene. For M. hominis , we also found an increase in tetracycline resistance and two tet (M)-positive isolates that were susceptible to tetracyclines.
