摘要
A barrier contraceptive agent capable of controlling infections and sexual transmission of U. urealyticum from the female genital tract was investigated, especially to help reduce nongonococcal urethritis in males caused by this organism. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of 6 intravaginal contraceptives and Betadine against the 8 serotypes of the organism was investigated. Some of these contraceptives produce partial inhibition of the Ureaplasma at low dilutions, while Betadine produces a ureaplasmacidal effect up to dilutions of 1:64. These effects appear not to be due primarily to the pH of these agents. Some of these agents may have a potential role in controlling transmission of U. urealyticum.
