Mycoplasma hominis is a species of bacteria in the genus Mycoplasma. M. hominis has the ability to penetrate the interior of human cells.[1] Along with ureaplasmas, mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living organisms known.
They have no cell wall and therefore do not Gram stain.[2]
Mycoplasma hominis is associated with pelvic inflammatory disease[3][4] and bacterial vaginosis.[5] It is also associated with male infertility.[6] This species causes a sexually transmitted infection.[7] It is susceptible to the antibiotic clindamycin.[8]
Growth of "fried egg" colonies on glucose agar medium within 24–48 hours is a characteristic of Mycoplasma hominis.[citation needed]
This pathogen may latently infect the chorionic villi tissues of pregnant women, thereby impacting pregnancy outcome.[9]
