Taxonomy of Ureaplasma urealyticum[1]

Some of the characteristics of Ureaplasma species[1]

  • Ureaplasma species are self-replicating biological entities.
  • They exist in tiny colonies that are smaller than colonies of other members of the Mycoplasmataceae family.
  • Unusual optimal pH growth of 6–6.5.
  • Unique ability to hydrolyze urea.
  • Urease activity is essential for ATP generation by a chemiosmotic mechanism.
