Ureaplasma urealyticum


Hello. Call me U. urealyticum.
I used to be a Mycoplasma like my cousin M. pneumoniae, but then we changed names.
Some people even call me "T strain" Mycoplasma.
I live in you genital tracts.

I get into your uninary tracts and I break down parts of your urine.

I cause NGU (non-gonococcal urethritis).
I give you burning and a yellow discharge.

Chlamydia
causes this alot more than I do.
