'''''Ureaplasma urealyticum''''' is a [[bacterium]] belonging to the family [[Mycoplasmataceae]].  Its type strain is T960. 
==[[Ureaplasma urealyticum classification|Classification]]==


''U. urealyticum'' is part of the normal [[genital]] [[flora]] of both men and women. It is found in about 70% of sexually active humans. It can also cause [[disease]], including [[non-specific urethritis]] (NSU), [[infertility]], [[chorioamnioitis]], [[stillbirth]], [[premature birth]], and, in the [[perinatal]] period, [[pneumonia]] or [[meningitis]].
==[[Ureaplasma urealyticum pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==


There are six recognised ''Ureaplasma'' species, They have a G+C content of 27 - 30 [[Mole (unit)|mol]]%, and a genome size ranging between 0.76 - 1.17 Gbp, and cholesterol is required for growth. A defining characteristic of the genus is that they perform [[urea]] hydrolysis.
==[[Ureaplasma urealyticum causes|Causes]]==


It is now recommended that some strains originally classified as ''Ureaplasma urealyticum'' should be treated as a new species, ''U. parvum''.
