How to look at the results of mycoplasma culture

Based on the results of mycoplasma culture, it is possible to determine whether there is chlamydia infection and drug susceptibility results. Mycoplasma culture is a test for inoculating and culturing human mycoplasma samples on sterile media. It is mainly used for mycoplasma susceptibility testing to see which drug is more effective in killing mycoplasma. Mycoplasma is a type of prokaryotic microorganism that is widely distributed in nature. Among them, mycoplasma associated with humans include Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, and Mycoplasma genitalium. Mycoplasma often invades the human respiratory and genitourinary systems and can cause diseases under certain conditions. 1. First check the negative or positive indication in the result column and compare it with the result value in the reference column to determine whether there is infection. If positive, mycoplasma infection is present; A negative means no infection.2. To check sensitive items, it is necessary to check the sensitivity of S, M and R drugs to guide the clinical selection of sensitive drugs for symptomatic treatment. Once the result is positive, and there is a corresponding drug labeled S, the drug can be selected for targeted therapy. In order to reduce the likelihood of recurrence, it is necessary to carry out an adequate course of treatment in cooperation with the doctor. Before mycoplasma culture, it is important not to use antibiotics in the previous week, so as not to affect the culture results. There are many types of mycoplasma. Mycoplasma pneumoniae can cause pneumonia and inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, and other infections such as Mycoplasma hominisis and Ureaplasma urealyticum often cause urethritis,vaginitisand other inflammations of the genitourinary system. Mycoplasma mainly invades the skin and mucous membranes, so after mycoplasma infection, you should avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers, chili peppers, and mustard, and avoid alcohol. Because mycoplasma prefers a high-sugar environment, patients should avoid foods high in sugar and avoid eating crabs, sea cucumbers, scallops, and other hair products.
