Background.
Culture is still the gold standard for the detection of genital mycoplasma which could cause urogenital infections in humans.
Mycoplasma IST2 is a commercial kit widely used for the detection of M.
hominis and Ureaplasma species.
Its accuracy was partially impaired because clinical specimens are usually mixed with purulent or transparent mucus.
We aimed to solve this problem through sample homogenization by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) treatment.
Methods.
Twenty-two endocervical swab samples were collected from 22 female patients with suspected mycoplasma infection, while 11 of these specimens were with purulent or transparent mucus.
Mycoplasma IST2 testing kit was used for mycoplasma culture and AST for the control group and NAC-treated group.
Results.
Genital mycoplasma was detected in 15 of 22 samples for both groups.
The colony number in 6 out of 11 purulent specimens (54.5%) was more than 104 CFU/ml of genital mycoplasma for the NAC-treated group, while only one of 11 (9.1%) for the control group.
For the nonpurulent specimens, no significant difference had been found in colony counting of genital mycoplasma between the control group and NAC-treated group (P>0.05).
The results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing for the NAC-treated group were highly similar to those for the control group.
Conclusions.
Our results demonstrate that NAC is helpful in sample homogenization and NAC treatment can improve the detection efficiency of mycoplasma with Mycoplasma IST2 testing.
