This is the first report of Ureaplasma sp. from the reproductive tract of Costa Rican cows. Among 204 animals sampled from 11 dairy farms in the country's Central Plateau, the infection rate was 0-71%. Isolation was more frequent in vulvo-vestibular (38.7%) than in cervical swabs (23%). Ureaplasma was correlated with clinical granular vulvitis symptoms.

Background: Systematic study on the relationship between vaginal microbiota and high-risk human papillomavirus infection (HR-HPV) is limited. Hence, the aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between vaginal microbiota and HR-HPV infection through a meta-analysis of case-control studies.
Methods: Chinese Journal Full-text database, Wanfang database, PubMed database, VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal database, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, JSTOR, Wiley, and IEEE Xplore were synthetically searched for studies about the correlation between vaginal microbiota and HR-HPV infection.

Introduction: (UU) is a common pathogen associated with genital tract infections in infertile males. However, its impact on semen quality, embryo development, and fertilization (IVF) outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effect of male UU infection on semen parameters, embryo development, pregnancy outcomes, and neonatal health in infertile couples.

Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis are bacterial pathogens found in the genitourinary tract, implicated in a range of infections. In women, these infections including pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginitis, infertility, and cervical cancer, while in men, they can cause non-gonococcal urethritis, prostate cancer, among other conditions. These infections are a global health concern, with China identified as a country with a high prevalence.

Article Synopsis
- Intrauterine infection (IUI) involves pathogens ascending from the vagina and cervix to the uterus, affecting the fetus, but effective diagnostic biomarkers for related conditions like chorioamnionitis (CAM) and funisitis (FUN) are lacking.
- A study analyzed the role of specific RNA editing molecules, particularly ADAR1, in tissue samples from 83 patients, finding that ADAR1 showed higher diagnostic capability compared to other markers.
- Ureaplasma parvum was found to activate ADAR1 in a cell line study, while high levels of ADAR1 expression were significantly linked to CAM and FUN cases, suggesting it could serve as a potential diagnostic target for IUI.*
History of cervical excisional treatment is associated with changes in the cervical microbiota in women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how cervical load and bacterial DNA prevalence differ in pregnant women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM), particularly focusing on those with and without a history of cervical excisional treatment.
- Women who had cervical excisional treatment showed higher cervical loads of specific bacterial DNA compared to those without such a history.
- Additionally, the length of the excisional cone influenced the bacterial DNA levels, suggesting that longer cone lengths were associated with distinct microbiota changes.*
