Ureaplasma urealyticum is a bacterium belonging to the family Mycoplasmataceae. Its type strain is T960. Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. ... Phyla/Divisions Actinobacteria Aquificae Bacteroidetes/Chlorobi Chlamydiae/Verrucomicrobia Chloroflexi Chrysiogenetes Cyanobacteria Deferribacteres Deinococcus-Thermus Dictyoglomi Fibrobacteres/Acidobacteria Firmicutes Fusobacteria Gemmatimonadetes Nitrospirae Planctomycetes Proteobacteria Spirochaetes Thermodesulfobacteria Thermomicrobia Thermotogae Bacteria(singular, bacterium) are a major group of living organisms. ... Classes Bacilli Clostridia Mollicutes The Firmicutes are a group of bacteria, most of which have Gram-positive stains. ... Orders Mycoplasmatales Entoplasmatales Anaeroplasmatales Acholeplasmatales The Mollicutes are an unusual group of bacteria distinguished by the absence of a cell wall; a cell wall is found in most other groups. ... Genera Candidatus Hepatoplasma Mycoplasma Ureaplasma The Mycoplasmataceae are an order of Mollicutes, containing two recognised genera and one genera at the Candidatus state (yet to be formally recognised). ... Genera Candidatus Hepatoplasma Mycoplasma Ureaplasma The Mycoplasmataceae are an order of Mollicutes, containing two recognised genera and one genera at the Candidatus state (yet to be formally recognised). ... Binomial name Ureaplasma urealyticum Ureaplasma urealyticum is a bacterium belonging to the family Mycoplasmataceae. ... In biology, binomial nomenclature refers to the formal method of naming species. ... Phyla/Divisions Actinobacteria Aquificae Bacteroidetes/Chlorobi Chlamydiae/Verrucomicrobia Chloroflexi Chrysiogenetes Cyanobacteria Deferribacteres Deinococcus-Thermus Dictyoglomi Fibrobacteres/Acidobacteria Firmicutes Fusobacteria Gemmatimonadetes Nitrospirae Omnibacteria Planctomycetes Proteobacteria Spirochaetes Thermodesulfobacteria Thermomicrobia Thermotogae Bacteria (singular, bacterium) are a major group of living organisms. ...

This microorganism is part of the normal genital flora of both men and women. It is found in about 70% of sexually active humans. It can also cause disease, including non-specific urethritis (NSU), infertility, chorioamnioitis, stillbirth, premature birth, and, in the perinatal period, pneumonia or meningitis. Non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) is an inflammation of the urethra which is not caused by gonorrheal infection. ... Stillbirth is when pregnancy ends without a live birth due to natural causes, including pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or spontaneous abortion. ... Perinatal defines the period occurring around the time of birth (5 months before and 1 month after). ... Pneumonia is an illness in which the small, air-filled sacs in the lungs (alveoli) responsible for absorbing oxygen from the atmosphere become inflamed and flooded with fluid. ... Meningitis is inflammation of the membranes (meninges) covering the brain and the spinal cord. ...

There are six recognised Ureaplasma species, They have a G+C content of 27 - 30 mol%, and a genome size ranging between 0.76 - 1.17 Gbp, and cholesterol is required for growth. A defining characteristic of the genera is that they perform urea hydrolysis. The mole (symbol: mol) is the SI term identifying the number of particles in a given amount of matter. ... Urea is an organic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen, with the formula CON2H4 or (NH2)2CO. Urea is also known as carbamide, especially in the recommended International Non-proprietary Names (rINN) in use in Europe. ...

It is now recommended that some strains originally classified as Ureaplasma urealyticum should be treated as a new species, U. parvum.
