| Abstract: | Urethral specimens from 247 heterosexual men — 118 patients with non-gonococcal urethritis and 129 controls with no evidence of urethritis — were examined for the presence ofBacteroides ureolyticus. Bacteroides ureolyticus was isolat-ed from 45 (34.9 %) of the controls and from 31 (26.3 %) of the urethritis patients; there was no significant difference between these rates (p=0.1). There was no association between the density ofBacteroides ureolyticus on primary isolation plates in either group. |
