Ureaplasma urealyticum is an inhabitant of the normal human genital tract and is found in 65–80% of sexually active men and women.
U. urealyticum is considered a pathogen of the urogenital tract because its isolation is more prevalent in patients with NGU than in asymptomatic subjects(source)
The organism is difficult to culture. Although highly purified EIA antigens are available now to permit detection of antibodies specific to U. urealyticum without cross-reactivity to other non-ureaplasmal antibodies, this method cannot be applied to different sample types.
