It had also been associated with a number of diseases in humans, including nonspecific urethritis, infertility,〔 〕 chorioamnionitis, stillbirth, premature birth, and, in the perinatal period, pneumonia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and meningitis. ''U. urealyticum'' has been noted as one of the infectious causes of sterile pyuria. If infection with this bacterium goes undetected, untreated or recurs, it reduces the fertility of both men and women, causes internal scarring, and has been implicated as the cause in preterm births, stillbirths, sepsis in newborns.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ureaplasma urealyticum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
