A simple method for preparing agar plates is presented, which allows an efficient transfer of Ureaplasma colonies to nitrocellulose membranes for subsequent immunological detection. This simple and reproducible procedure was used to demonstrate antigenic variation in the phase-variable mba-locus of Ureaplasma parvum serovar 3.

Article Synopsis
- HPV is the most common STI globally, and this study investigates the prevalence of other STIs and vaginosis in patients tested for HPV through a detailed screening of urogenital samples.
- A total of 408 participants were included, with 72.1% testing positive for HPV, and significant co-infections with various pathogens were found, revealing notable gender differences.
- The findings emphasize the need for regular screenings to understand the relationship between HPV and other infections better, highlighting the impact on urogenital health.

Genital mycoplasmas can break the cervical barrier and cause intraamniotic infection and preterm birth. This study developed a six-chamber vagina-cervix-decidua-organ-on-a-chip (VCD-OOC) that recapitulates the female reproductive tract during pregnancy with culture chambers populated by vaginal epithelial cells, cervical epithelial and stromal cells, and decidual cells. Cells cultured in VCD-OOC were characterized by morphology and immunostaining for cell-specific markers.
